First, let me say I am not a modern Camaro expert, in fact I am still waiting for my 2012 to be delivered. But I do have allot of stock eliminator experience with older high horse power cars. In my opinion, your not getting any weight transfer. The front suspension needs to let the front end come up higher to transfer weight to the rear in a controlled manner. Also, the rear tire is not being properly planted. Typically, you look for separation between the body and tire in a controlled manner. Your car appears to be trying to squat down in back, which is probably a suspension goemetry problem. I would look for a drag specific suspension set up, which is very different from the suspensions often discussed on this forum. I don't know that you will ever hook up such a small rear tire with 1000 HP, but I would copy the COPO drag race Camaro's once they hit the track.
Once you have put a propoer drag suspension under the car, you may need to put a timing computer in the car to kill timing in first gear to get you off the line consistently. The starting line traction at a NHRA event are usually far superior to the poorly prepped starting line at a weekend event. I almost always had to pull 10-12 degrees timing out of first gear up to 5500 rpm to get off the line at weekend test and tunes. However, some weekend starting line crews take great pride in their prep work and had me dragging the rear bumper.
