Using math on my timeslip pretty much proves it in my mind.
My WHP using ET = 450, My WHP using MPH =550.
When a car works at the track, those calculations should be very close, which they are not.

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 eventually became possible. Early dragstrip results with the locked tcm were disappointing to me, and I was only able to run 11.6 when trap speed was 118 (SS with few bolt ons). After the tcm unlock/tune the results were more balanced, and I was able to run 11.3 with a 119 trap speed, and eventually 10.8 with a 125 trap. ALL 6.2 V8 6th gen Camaros are held back on the dragstrip by the stock tcm tune, many posts by V8 owners over the years have shown this.
