Is there something wrong with my setup?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve seen most stock LLTs running low 15s and mid to high 14s. I went to the drag strip a few months ago and my best was a 15.7 with one of the valves melted in my last motor. I have since replaced the motor and I’m still running the same mods.

LLT A6
BBK longtubes
BBK high flow cats
Straight pipe after the cats
K&N cai
Trifecta tune
Lowering springs
OEM Staggered 20s with 245 front and 275 back
My car also has the 3.27 open rear end

I went back to the strip two nights ago and my best was a 16.7. I’m currently lost, I have a new motor with the same mods and I’m a second slower than last time. I’m also two seconds slower than a stock LLT.

Also before I put the 275s in the back I could roast the 245s like they were nothing. My car will barely break the 275s loose on wet ground much less dry ground

What could be wrong? Could it be the tune? Maybe the wider tires in the back?

Any advice is welcome

Not versed in the 4 cyl Camaro but looking at your times, trap speed and mods I'd say something major wrong. Down like 100+ hp IMO

And your 60 ft is ridiculous as well

That’s that I’m thinking, I just don’t know what could be wrong. I’ve watched plenty of V6 LLTs trap higher with way lower times. Possibly the tune, I have no clue.

I was getting a check engine light for p0008 p0009 and p0017 but that ended up being caused by the vvt actuator going bad. I’m gonna start with small stuff like spark plugs and cleaning my filter which isn’t that dirty.

I'm gonna venture and say something is seriously wrong with the tune.

2.6 was the best I could get out of the 8 passes I made. I made those four passes. Let the car cool down for an hour and a half, then made two more passes, let the car cool again and then made my final two passes.

I tried launching several different ways.
Not building rpm and just mashing it
About 800 rpm
1000 rpm
1500 rpm and
2000 rpm

The best pass was made holding it around 2000. That’s the 2.6 60’ and 16.7 1/4

I had an LLT on the top 10 1/4 for a while. Im guessing your tune is way off. Should be able to 1.9x 60'

Who's tuning your engine? Yes bone stock V6's are running 1-2 seconds faster then yours. If you melted a piston you need someone to tune it or your gonna burn another one
if you don't get it tuner properly. You need to stop running it till you figure it out, don't go to the track again till that happens.

You have a 5th Gen Camaro with the LLT V6 but you posted in the Camaro6.com forum. You'll get more help and advice if you post in the LLT section of Camaro5.com:
