Default I have a couple of problems new to the area and need a guy who can tune.

I was at PIR this weekend, I have a '00 black z28 bone stock. I've made around 100+passes on Bandimere and Julesburg in Colorado, and I know I can race. My camaro had a 15.0 first run with a 2.4 60' I launched at 2000 RPM's, second pass was a 14.9' and I launched at 2500' RPM with a 2.2 60'. Does that seem slow to you guys? Could there be something wrong with my car or do I just need to go to the store and buy some vagisil because I got my feelings hurt?

Wow those are slow as hell.. I don't think tuning is your problem.. You may want to check some other stuff.

How many miles, and when was the last time you did any major maintenance on it?

What kinda tires are you running too??? Were you spining really hard off the line?

Hooked great coming off the line, chirped 2 and 3, just replaced plugs, kn filters, swapped the conventional oil for royal 5w-30, and a kn oil filter, and it's only got 70k on the odometer

Give Tim at RRev Motorsports a call, located in Jantzen Beach. They can do anything from Imports, Turbo mustange, vipers and vettes.

... hey keith... tell them your specs... it is your 60' and other stuff... you need to ditch the 245 tires... and lower the tire pressure to 17 and not 25..
