All of the above are things that can be done for free, and they can free up a few ponies, and help your 1/4 mile times.
Where does one find high grade lubricants for free?

Yeah, I guess I should have proof read that a little better.

Don't want anyone going to jail for some lube.

I know what you ment I was just busting your kohunas. I thought it was funny cause I did it to my car and I had a bit of sticker shock when I bought all the stuff.

he does get me off the launch but once we hit around 60 mph i pull away with top end of my Z demoralizing the AWD for the fact he pulls a good 3-4 car lengths out of the hole

Make the car lighter and get gears.

13.2? Stock? What?
Is that because of the lower altitude. Im a mile high here in Denver.
Anyway there is NO way in Heck that a stock camaro (unless 2010) would run a 13.2 up here. Not even close, they run 15's.

I run 14's, never on any other track, and I dont have any trouble beating stock 3rd and 4th gen's.

I know the altitude is an issue. I now a guy that claims to run 11's at sea level in a 2nd gen talon. But here has has to double his boost and only get to the 13's


Sorry, wasn't trying to jack this thread. Get lower gears. Then Tires.
