Well how did you do? I have never run down the drag strip. I did a couple of laps at Watkins Glen and that was fun. One of these days I will probably go to the drag strip just for kicks.

Yea that makes alot of sense, I had a 98 blazer 4.3 v6 with flowmasters which had a pile of drone but not sure how i feel about the camaro having too much... maybe i can find one at a meet n greet or something to check it out.

If you want to check out the emerald coast camaros in the florida sub forum we are actually having a meet n greet in thomasville on August 16.
Yea it is a small world, that's crazy! Also the meet n greet sounds like a great idea, i'll have to check and see what's on my calender.

What ratio are you going with again?

Cammy, those are pretty decent times. I wonder how much heavier the ZL1 wheels are than the stock 18's. When I switched my 18's out I did notice that my MPG's dropped a bit. And then at C5festIV friggin Racergirl was running 13's on stock 18's.
