CAN USE SOME HELP! 1ST TRIP TO TRACK - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Birddogg · 07-04-2015, 10:42 AM

Need some help here guys!Now in my defense I was operating off of about 3 hours of sleep and had worked from 7 a.m.to 6:30 p.m. and then straight to the track!

To say the least I felt like I was in a cloud of fog.However I have been waiting all year to get the car to the track and perform a shake down to see where this thing was at.Now my excused are out of the way.
I AM LOOKING FOR HELP TO IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE AT THE TRACK!!
When I headed to the track I let my buddy know that I wanted to run at least a 10.8 last night.LOL, well that did not happen!Here are a list of all of my 5 runs in line.The last 2 runs were ran one after the other(hot lapped).
PLEASE DO NOT LAUGH TOO HARD ON THI FIRST RUN, I WAS ASKED BY A COUPLE OF PEOPLE DID I TAKE A KNAP AT THE TREE:
Oh yes, I have to add one more excuse- I was afraid of breaking my rear end so I did start off in 2nd gear.By the way Happy 4th of July to you all! :-)
1st Pass:
reaction-1.23
60 foot-3.13 (spinning 1-3 gear)
1/8 mile- 96.17
1/4 mile- 106.94
1/4 ET-13.74 (SMOKING QUICK)

2nd Pass:
reaction-0.94
60 foot-2.79 (I SEE IMPROVENT)

1/8 mile- 96.71
1/4 mile- 118.64< I THINK I AM READY FOR CAMARO FEST>

1/4 ET-13.002

AT THIS POINT I WAS TOLD BY MY BUDDY THAT HE HOPES I CAN JUST GET INTO THE 11'S

(PISSED ME OFF- SO I DECIDED TO START IN 1ST GEAR WITH A SOFT LAUNCH)

3rd Pass:
reaction-1.07
60 foot-2.21 (spinning)
1/8 mile- 99.62
1/4 mile-125.42
1/4 ET - 11.752(THIS PASS SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR EXHAUST SEPARATED ON PASSENGER SIDE A HIT GROUND)

4th Pass:
reaction- .091
60 foot-1.92(I WAS TOLD TO LOWER TIRE PRESSURE, WENT FROM 32-18 PSI BEFORE THIS PASS)
1/8 mile- 99.93
1/4 mile- 124.52
1/4 ET-11.454
The track was closing so I just did a hot lap for my final run.i am running Hoosier DR's on the car

5th Pass:
reaction; red light I guess -0.169
60 foot- 2.24
1/8 mile- 100.33
1/4 mile- 128.42
1/4 ET -10.982
(THIS PASS I HELD MY RPM'S UP TO ABOUT 25 TO 2800 RPM'S ON LAUNCH AND HAD NO TIRE SPINN AT ALL, IT PULLUED THE FRONT END AND HOOKED GOOD. I DID HOWEVER SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR BEFORE THE TRAPS AND SLOWED DOWN A TAD BIT).

I DO PLAN ON INSTALLING MY ZL1 CENTER AND DSS D.S. ANDAXLES IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.I WILL NOT REVISIT THE TRACK UNTIL THEN.
ALL HELP AND SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY WELCOME.

How much power u make? 10.9@128 with a not so good 2.2 60' is pretty fast. U just need some more practice launching.

THE TUNE ON THE CAR RIGHT NOW IS SET RIGHT ABOUT 790 TO THE TIRE. I WAS SHIFTING ABOUT 1000 RPM BEFORE DYNO MAX POWER RPM'S.

EVERY PASS I WAS SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR AND I COULD FEEL THE CAR SLOW DONW.

Birddogg · 07-04-2015, 11:07 PM

I STRUGGLED GETTING THE RPM'S UP AND NOT MOVING FORWARD TOO MUCH! I AM USE TO DRIVING AN AUTOMATIC AND THE MANUAL IS A LOT DIFFERENT!

Are you driving a vette?

Merc · 07-05-2015, 11:43 AM

If your trying for a good run and ET don't worry about the reaction time concentrate on the launch and leave when your ready.

THANKS, THAT IS WHAT I PLAN ON DOING THE NEXT TIME I GO TO THE TRACK. I WAS JUST DOING TOO MUCH THINKING AND TRYING TO MONITOR ALL MY GAUGES AND WHAT NOT INSTEAD OF CONCENTRATING ON DRIVING.

Birddogg · 07-07-2015, 02:33 PM

My tuner thinks that there is a problem causeing the computer to pull timing out of the car. He said I should be somewhere around 135-144 for my trap speed. Now I am not sure what to think here.?!

It would help if you told us all your setup

I have a forged bottom end LS3 with stock heads, intake and TB. The car has the Eliminator Fuel pump, 1300 injectors, comp cam blower cam with a F1a blower making about 12 pounds of boost. Also have the Alky meth system dual nozzle . Trans has a replacement clutch in it also.

As far a suspension does a drive shaft loop count?

and replacement bushing for the stock rear. That is the list of mods done to the car as of now.

Running on the 325/45/18 DR-2 by Hoosier out back and 255/50 R18's up front!
