Default First passes with my car. test and tune

Last wednesday, I went out to Pacific Raceways (Used to be SIR) to test my car out. Unfortunatly, at the moment, my car has some serious wheel hop. I couldn't leave agressivly on any of my passes. I tried getting it on the converter once, to about 3,000 but it just spun and hopped -.- Anyway, I didn't end up getting a full pass, which was dissapointing. I also got off the throttle every run, because it tried to rev past 6 grand, and I really dont want to risk anyhting its first day out. Those 4.56s made me run out of motor too soon lol. Anyway, Here are my slips.

1st pass- Left nice and soft, didnt floor it for a good 2 seconds, just a test pass
(Also my first pass EVER dragracing! w00t)

R/T .092 (Not a bad reaction for a total noob huh?)
E/T 14.673 (Pains me to post)
MPH 95.27
60' time 2.364

Alright, I know how the show works from the drivers prespective now, its time to test things out.

2ND Pass-

R/T .086 (so the first one wasn't entirely luck maby?)
E/T 14.214
MPH 94.33
60' time-2.114

3rd Pass (This time I try out the converter. Also, I had to get off the throttle because of tirehop, and at the far end when my engine tried to rev past 6 grand)

R/T .109 (Doh!)
E/T 14.09 (Omg, almost 13's!)
MPH 94.24 (I got off the throttle)
60' 2.046 (Even with tire hop and spinning)

Well, I'm going to put some traction bars on it this week, and take it back out to see what happens!

I'm thinking 4.10s because its my daily driver. I want to go short, but not 4.56 short What do you guys run in your cars? Oh! and I almost forgot, I had a fellow camaro kill I went against a 3rd gen, I really dont know anything about them, but it looked tuned. Obviously not bone stock, but not heavly modded at all. It ran a 15.31 @ 88 Mph, against my second run. It was a blast. One last thing, I posted this on the media forum, but I'll post it here too. Dont hate me

I'm thinking it'll consistently run mid 13's once I get it set up for the track. I cant wait to see!

For traction bars look into Cal Tracs they work a tone better than those cheap *** slapper bars.
