Drag Racing tips for Camaro SS

Does anyone have experience with the Camaro SS on a drag strip?
I'd like to hear about some first hand experience and tips.
Tire pressure, Launch control, etc.


Thanks!

X2 , but Ill save you some hassle

Use launch control on a stock tune , stock tire combo .
For drag radials use the stab it and steer it method ( i.e. Stab the throttle off idle at last amber with nannies off ) 1.67 60 ft on an automatic with drag radials will net you 11's even on a heavy ass stock automatic.
Keep the car in the glue groove , stage shallow , go with good weather and low DA these cars run with relative ease stock into the 11.90s bone stock and mid to low 11's with minor bolt ons and high 10s with bolt ons and drag pack & skinnies.

For further info and combos look to dragstrip and launching discussions , you will also see a fast list .

I've never used launch control at the track. I does pull power out so you don't spin the tires. I'd try both ways.

I think LC might be better for guys doing dial in ? I.e. Bracket racing .

But I also get better ETs just stabbing the bitch out of the hole after a lite to moderate burnout w drag radials ..

I did try LC off and no nannies on stock tires and could hear them struggling and fighting for traction and yet still netted a 1.86 60ft in the 12.1 range

My ets were in the 12.0 to 11.9 range pretty much most of the night with LC off and TC off.

Editors note the above Ets were done at PBIR in south florida in a stock tune 2017 SS A8 convertible with density altitude in the 400-700 range and at 68-76 degree temp. Track conditions were B- to A- with moderate glue down the all concrete surface.
Track elevation is 21 ft .
