Not to add fuel to the fire, but if others with the same car (or less) than yours don't have those problems, then it might be you.
If you describe the same problem to multiple groups of people and they all come up with the same opinion, then maybe they are onto something. Just from reading your first and last post, it seems like you have a hard time when things don't go your way and you don't like to hear other's opinions, so good luck with your car Just curious.... what did you own before the Camaro?

But to the op either something is wrong with your build/car or with your driving. Even without good traction your car should be faster than stock and not getting beat by 17 second cars. What's your air fuel ratio? What tires and psi are you running? How are you launching and starting your races? These are the details that can lead people to information and they can help you out. My car is a similar setup to yours and I have traction issues but I still run a full second faster than the local autos with just exhausts and intakes. Now I'm in the process of upgrading my suspension so I can actually use all the power sooner instead of having to ease into it. If you want help its here. But if you want to just blew up on the forum when people respond and point out what seems obvious to them based on the information you've given you'll end up missing out on a lot of valuable information.

Everyone just needs to lay off him i'm not saying i agree with everything he's said or you've all said but holy crap man he asked for advice not stupid BS insults and one-sided opinions.
Kaz i don't think i've met you yet or if i have i can't remember but these cars aren't always easy to get a feel for even at high end modification. I'm sure i'll get the typical you drive a V6 flame on this from someone out of state who hasn't met me but whatever. If you ever wanna do a track meet with a few of us at NED in Epping, NH sometime maybe we can help you out some in a good enviroment. Do me and the helpful ones a favor and watch the street race talk on this forum they discourage it greatly and for good reason. Even implying that it was an experience street racing can get you in hot water sometimes. The only real question i can think of is if you get any wheel hop on take-off with your mods then it's about the equivalent of missing a shift against most anything else because these cars are 4,000lb. bricks.

Then complain that people say stuff, then you admit no traction.. Maybe start with first post- I lose every race because my car just spins. ? Then you'll get different responses and help. Last edited by Slowhawk; 01-29-2016 at 11:05 AM. |

Got any dyno numbers for your car with the mods? Even with no traction you should be able to run high 12's.

Beginning to see why some people don't always get along with slowhawk. He didn't come on here giving you any grief and your not only a business owner your a sponsor on here which should come with a little more tactful posting especially in your regions thread section. I've never met you myself but i hear alot of good things and a few people who have issues with not your work but your approach not judging just thinking maybe less fanning needless flames is better for PR?

OK... now that we have figured out the problem... let's talk tires and start winning some races.
Sounds like a pretty bad ass car. |
