I data logged also & Vince said is was OK...

My friend got a 45th(2012) & he does 14.1 stock at 100mph... I just don't get it...

Me too....

Not sure what is causing you to have such a low trap unless you are shifting too soon. What gear are you in and what rpm are you at when you are crossing the finish line??

Best trap for me was 96mph but th rest is 95 mph
My best times are always in D mode....S mode is like .1 - .3 difference.

Just bought the Air Scoop for my CAI...once installed I will go back to the track & try agai this time in colder weather.

I actually have stock SS wheels with Hankook Vetnus V12's on them hooked up pretty well. It should be about 78 degrees tonight at atco

You're Welcome. Godd luck. Next time plan better....LOL..... less fuel in tank.Leave traction control on. You want all the nanies on for the best results. Trust me, I have over 100 passes and have tried all cominations many times over.

Now that said, I would do the burn out with th traction control off and get the tires hot.

Mustangs need to kill the entire electronic stability system and let the tires/suspension/driver mod do the work. If we leave any part of the AdvancTrac on, it will kill power to the engine when it senses any type of wheel spin. (I imagine the Camaro system works similarly?)

All nanies on for the launch.

But i know what you mean about Ford's - on my escape - which has the same traction control software - it completely kills power when detecting wheelspin; not the same case for the Camaro...

And to the OP - those V12s are a good tire, thats not your weak link. Either way you need to drop the 60' time to 2.1 or better - you should be able to, esp with an auto..and your trap speed is low - esp for the mods - you should be trapping over 100mph.

I am in 3rd gear crossing at approx. 6400 rpm's at over 100 mph.

Just got an email back frim Vince about a Questiion I had,,,
Hi Vince,

Need to know if you have different tunes for different fuel?

I always used Super (91 Octane) since May 2009...(the odd times 93/94)

My exhaust seems to be getting more black!!!(pipes) Since the last Tune Update!!!

He's right. The computer will sense knock and retard timing regardless of the fuel type.

So I ran a 14.454 tonight.... not too bad im guessing

What do you guys think about running these on a set of 1LT rims?

The overall diameter is about 3" less than stock. That would lower the rear about 1.5" and leave a bigger gap.

[lscamaro]

But would that work if they are a pure drag day wheel and tire combo?

That is what they soley would be used for. You'd be okay getting to a from the track to, even if its was a few hours away.

These are the only drag radial I could find that would fit a 1LT rim, which remember are the lightest stock rim at 23 lbs. Problem is that you cant run anything wider than a 245, BUT I think these will actually work quite well for us. Especially bolt on/nitrous cars.

Correct but for fun I ran a 45 side wall and it helped my trap speed a lot.

With these out back you'll get a simulated higher gear ratio. In addition I think traction would be great if you ran the stock 55 size up front. Because they lower the back 1.5 inches, the weight of your Camaro will shift backwards and apply more weight onto these radials. This should provide more traction. As you roll down the track too you won't spin as much as you gain momentum and more weight is shifted towards the back of the car.

This is what a 45 looked like on my car, the 40 will essentially look the same.

[lscamaro]

I don't really care what it looks like at all. If it gets the job done, I'm all for it. I cut 2.3 60fts. It would be great if I can at least get a 2.0-2.1 out of these. Anything less and that's just icing on the cake. I think my uncle has an extra set of lt rims so I might just get 2 from him and mount these tires on it.

I'm looking to buy just two, you think he'd sell me the other two?

I cut a 2.0 60ft in my 6MT when I was bone stock with the 20s, I would expect a sub 2.0 with these, hopefully a 1.85 or 1.9. The simulated gear + traction should help me finally get into 13s. With the set up I had I trapped 101.5 but didnt hook at all netting a 2.2 and 2.3 60ft and a 14.4 1/4 time. If I can cut a 1.9, I should run a 13.6 with my set up. Maybe faster now that I can shift much quicker. All with just an intake and cut outs on stock exhaust.

So let me know about those 1lts!

[lscamaro]

Just asked my uncle, looks like he wants to wait a little longer to see if he buys another camaro. If he does, he's putting those on it. Either way, if I hear he wants to sell, you'll be the first I contact. I so want to do this now! The simulated gear ratio is something I hadn't even thought about.

Sounds good bro! And yeah dropping from the stock 55 sidewall to a 40 sidewall will make an impact. I have no idea how much it would change the ratio but I think I'd be safe in guessing it will be worth at least a tenth.

My only concern for this is if a 245 radial will be enough for us to hook. I'm confident though as I've seen other cars with similar or greater whp hook with a 245. At a minimum it will be much better than any stock tire.
