What mods do you have? What're your numbers?

Cold Air Inductions intake, DynaTech headers, DynaTech Highflow cats, Borla S-type cat back, Jennetty Racing Tune, and when I'm at the track I'm using Nitto 555R 305-45-18s Drag radials.

If I was using stock tires, I'm sure the computer could keep up, but since I'm not, while at the track it could show some issues due to the extra traction.

Launch control is a fun option to play with if you're a novice racer. It pretty much dumbs the experience down to where you can race somewhat safely. I am by no means an expert racer, I'm a novice also, but I'm trying my best to learn how to do this the correct way.

The last 2 times I have dyno'd my car one dyno showed 440 hp and 418 ft lb torque, and another dyno showed 400 hp and 395 ft lb torque. Different dyno's different numbers. I take the lower of the 2 only becuase I have been doing my baseline runs with that company since I have had the car.

We're probably at about the same numbers then. I'd like to buy an extra set of rear wheels to put some stickier tires for the track (I haven't been yet...honestly I haven't been brave enough to try launch control). I've been extremely careful because I'm worried about the output shaft and half shafts. Did you upgrade those, and if so, can I ask what it ran ya and where you got it done?

Fastest time as of today is 13.15 @110 at SIR in Tucson. All the work done to my car has been done by me minus the tune.

Still running stock output shaft and half shafts?

Yep, I think all of us in or near Tucson still have the stock drive train. I can only think of 1 or 2 people that have superchargers and would warrent the upgrade.

My Mother's Day gift - yeah, my friends think that is crazy but thought my Camaro friends would understand.

Looks good Shayne.

armysig · 05-31-2011, 08:17 PM

Very nice! Any gift for the Camaro is a thoughtful gift.

That just means they kind of understand your passion.

I'm at it again. I picked up the HD version of the GoPro camera. I'm just waiting on the correct memory card to arrive. The one in the camera is not fast enough for saving the data. That's why it doesn't look as crisp as it should.

Devryn17 · 06-01-2011, 03:22 PM

Looks great to me. ...But then again I LOVE seeing pictures of home. My best friend and I when I was a kid would pull weeds and mow lawns in neighborhoods out that way, then walk to that circle K for a "Clearly Canadian" softdrink and Candy. :P

Someone decided to do a surprise repaving of the only road outside my office. I now have oil all over the car *sigh*
