Car ran great. The suspension mods worked. No wheel hop at all. And surprisingly enough the pos zr1 clutch was great and the pedal never failed to fully return! Shifting was almost effortless, I'm sure the RedLine ATF helped. The nittos 05r's in my opinion were damn good running at 20lbs.
All I need to do now is practice the launch.

If your asking about suspension mods : BMR toe bars, trailing arms and cradle bushings. Don't know if the Gforce Axles helped with wheel hop or not.

It's probably a low 11 high 10 car. It's gonna be up to me to get it there. M6 takes work.

You going to Atco tonight? Our cars run about the same. I went with a Centerforce DYAD. Trying it out tonight. I heard more Camaros are coming now.

I hope to start getting consistent 60's instead of 1.7-2.1. Wish me luck. I like the M6 challenge.

My car is just back from an overhaul at JRE.

Edit: The DYAD was a big mistake. Stay away!

I agree. It is a challenge but so much fun!
I probably won't be back til nov 15 for ford v chevy day. It's hard for me to go during the week because of work.
But good luck! Let us know how you do.

I'm sure it's definitely due to my error. Still getting used to the car with shift points, launching, tire pressure, etc. Open to suggestions.

You really can't make your car loose hp. I'd expect 130 mph traps from a 700 rwhp car.
