When you say throttle not opening, are you talking about just the electronic throttle not opening until 12mph? You are at full accelerator before the car moves, but the electronic throttle is slow to...

Actually, I think that the torque numbers they gave you are messed up. Your baseline pull has torque more than 11% higher than hp, hmmm. Knowing that the LT1 engine has been rated by the SAE as...

Someone tested an MSD intake manifold and a ZR1 (95mm) throttle body on an SS, with graphs comparing to stock. Thread here https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535959

Agree with this, because I had that same model and size tire, pumped it up to 32psi for the street drive, and had nothing like that appear. You just happened to get a defective one is what seemed to...

Looks to me like someone changed the minimum spark table on that car. With a stock minimum spark table, with TR on (like it is in the stock tcm tune), during WOT shifts it drops timing into the...

Optimal mix depends on the configuration and fuel system. For a bolt-on SS like yours, e85 straight out of the pump is the best for performance. No need to mix fuels for a bolt-on SS, because your...

Well if they have some screwy lane thing going on there, then I would suggest trying the drag radial lane next time, since you are actually using a drag radial. You should be able to hit it hard on a...

Drag racing note, the C7Z guy did not whip you, you actually won that race. Note how it says winner in your lane? You beat him so badly on reaction time that he did not catch up to you before the...

Whoa, he locks the tune? I have a very low opinion of guys like that. Is he willing to 'touch up' the tune, considering that you've already paid him a LOT of money for the tune? Because I seriously...

Hmm, no feedback yet on the runs? IMO a 1.86 short time on drag radials, with ECM/TCM tune and quite a bit more hp than stock, was quite noticeably slower than I'd expect. Did not sound like you spun...

I've been a member since 2016, and the evidence on the tcm has been pretty obvious to me over the years. My 2017 SS also came with a locked tcm, so tuning was not available in the beginning, but...

You are correct that the car is being held back by the computer. Torque limits in the TCM are a big reason that the car is not launching like it should on the DRs. Check out this test...

Don't focus on the 'boost' number because it's really not important. What actually matters is how much air you're pushing, and going from a 2.7 blower pulley down to a 2.5 means spinning the blower...

Yes, his ecm tune with flex fuel helped with the 60' time IMO. My own experience with bolt-on mods was that with the stock SS tune and a pair of DRs, I was running mid-1.7 short times at best. Then...

Something to be aware of when drag racing an M6 version of the 6.2 v8 on DRs, they can have a well-known bog issue, which is caused by a torque limit setting in the computer. Might want to ask your...

I was just going by what you had posted for wheel/tire weights before: stock wheel/tire 62 lbs, vms/hoosier 32 lbs, vms/mt 52 lbs. Saving 30 ea on front and 10 ea on rear added up to 80.

Was that full-tank 3600lbs with the stock wheels/tires on, and the passenger seat still in the car? Not with your old drag pack (-80) or pass seat removed (-48)?

Uh, the OP is building a bolt-on car, not a supercharged one. The gain from E85 on a bolt-on LT1 would be more like ~25 rwhp if his 93 tune is decent. Bolt-on car won't gain as much from the ethanol...

Honestly you'd likely gain very little hp, if any, from the ported 87. I had a v-max ported 87, and I did not see any gain from it, which agrees with a dyno test that I know of (zero hp gain). Other...

Sorry, I saw 2023 10spd, post did not mention it was a 1LE. That means 2.85 rear instead of 2.77, however, it also means even more weight than a base SS (elsd plus larger front brakes). The LT1 is...

My 2017 SS A8 with just a 17" MT on back, plus a (worthless) drop-in air filter inside the unmodified stock airbox, went 11.9@113 in the autumn (1.76 60'). Before this I had run some 12.0s at 114...
