I received the call from Ryan at Lingenfelter last Wednesday that my Camaro has landed at LPE. I've heard nothing but good reviews about LPE, and Speed's comments confirm that. With any luck, I'll be driving a supercharged Camaro shortly.

I am in the left lane - I got stuck with a V-Max motorcycle in the right lane a few times. That one was pretty quick. There were a lot of cars running in the 14's and 15's last night. I tried to get lined up against the Z06 a couple times but kept missing it by a car.

How much whine do you get in the cabin from the supercharger?

With a corrected DA (3354) for last night on my last run - it would have been a 12.4 I think. I would say with traction it should have been in the low 12's. With Drag Radials I should have been in the 11's. This is my first time ever at the drag strip and I am not the most experienced at it either. I was experimenting with the TC on and off. I was also heating up the tires pretty good in the box - not sure if that is good for stock tires or not. Being 82 degrees and humid wasn't that great either. As soon as I can get some video up, I will. I have a video from inside the car, so you can hear the supercharger whine. I have to have my brother help me get it set up. To me the supercharger whine is perfect. It is not too loud but you know it is there!!!

I don't mind hearing that kind of whining.

Driving around the water box will help a LOT with street tires. Like rpepka said, the water gets in the tread and makes the launch off the line suck as the tires will have a puddle beneath them at the starting line. Spin the tires (burnout) to clean them off. It's not going to matter how long you do your burnout with the street tires. I would recommend a short burnout ) 3 seconds or less unless you want to replace the rear tires really quickly. With Drag slicks, you do the burnout to get some heat into the tire and clean them. A longer burnout makes a difference with slicks - the rubber will get real gummy on a slick after the burnout and will help to hook up the car. what RPM are you launching off the line at? you will want the lowest possible rpm that allows the tires to grab. I am guessing, but I would say somewhere around 1500 rpm or so and roll into the throttle to allow the tires to grab. As far as Traction control, put the car into Competitive mode. this turns off traction control but keeps the active handling and ABS on in case you get out of control, it will save you from hitting the wall. The above worked pretty well with my 2005 Corvette. I don't remember the times that one ran. Your 60' time should be down around 1.8ish (at least) with street tires if you don't spin the tires. you could be lower than that, but with the 20" rim/tire combination I wouldn't expect much lower than that. The 20's look good for the street, but will be terrible for drag racing or AutoX. One of my other cars is a 1992 Camaro setup for drag racing. It has a 540CI engine making 900 HP on an engine dyno. Car is setup for Super street (best run to date is 9.57 at 148 MPH). 60' time is 1.57 with a 12" wide slick. |
