I'm going to be keeping a record of all my drag strip visits with my SS/TC in this thread/post as a kind of guide for anyone taking one from essentially stock to eventually fully bolted with meth injection.

Now please keep in mind that my local track, Bandimere in Denver, CO is about 5800ft above sea level and regularly has a density alititude on most days of 8000ft or more. A bone stock 2010 Camaro SS is a low 14 second car and only traps around 100mph here.

My first visit to the track - my best pass:

- GM Stage 1 Tune
- Hahn Cold Air Intake
- Conti DWS XTRM Contact - Front @ 25psi / Rear @ 40psi
- NLS used all gears / No launch control - left @ ~2500-3000rpm

60' - 2.27
330' - 6.16
1/8 - 9.26 @ 80.3
1000' - 11.89
1/4 - 14.109 @ 102.21 mph

Unfortunately, I will not be back until spring time since the track closes for the winter before I'll be able to get my meth kit installed and get a real tune.

Cya on the 16th buddy! I challenge you to a dual! MUHAHAHAHA

 

Do I get a handicap?

 

Looks like was the one that needed the handicap! haha

 

Ok here you go

 

Bump for first post update!

 

What ended up being your best pass?

 

uhh embarassing lol 14.2 at 111. my launches were just non existent. it would just bog at every rpm i would go at. but once i got out of the bog i would FLYYYYY. this winter im getting some DR's, mounts, and a clutch. I already got some 17" wheels pending. Just gonna take some practice since this was my first time at the track

 

Oh lookie here!



That **** cray.

My ZZP mounts are installed. My pedders are installed. All I need is my tune and for the track to open up.

 

Going to the track this Wednesday -- decided to bolt-up the 17" drag radials.



Got my E85 tune almost dialed-in by CCSS3. Car pulls like a boss on E85. I'm hoping I can trap over 108mph and get my 60ft down to a 1.9-2.0 If I can make both those things happen, I've got 12.9 in the bag.

 

Good luck dude. Ima try and be retuned with the new injectors by next week and ill make it down. We have like 4-5 people running this wed. I also have csp tix for it avail.

 

Dude i trapped like 117-118 last summer but only pulled off a 14.1 lmao. but i have a better tune now, new mounts, a clutch that will hold and some 16" slicks lol

 

I had quite a few stock gas cars on 23-24 lbs get 12.5-12.8 in about 1k in elevation no issue, So id say you can easily get 12s with your power!!!

 

1st post is too old, can't edit it.

I need to go back with some peewee footballs. I was on 225/45/17 BFG drag radials, they hooked pretty good, but I'm confident with less weight transfer I can manage to get my 60ft down just 1 more tenth, I've got a 12.9 in the bag.

Doin work with my buddies Z28 (H/C/I):


My best pass:


DA at the track that day was 8600ft!!!
