Trapping Low Speed With Big Power?
Ok guys, I've had my camaro for over a year now and finally got a daily so it was time to take the 5th gen to the track.
a little about the car:
LS3 w/ comp cam, valve springs
TR6060
D1SC Procharger running 9 PSI w/ 8 Rip pulley
McLeod RXT twin disk clutch
moser axles
methanol injection system
92lb fuel injectors
zl1 fuel pump
hurst short throw shifter
weld racing drag pack on Mickey Thompson E/T Streets
ok so here is the problem... August last year the car made 697 hp and 618 FT LBS on a dino jet dino. Then in December made 707 hp and 627 ft/lbs on a different dino in the colder weather.
I took it out to the track earlier this month and my best time was an 11.77 @ 120. Now I don't know about you but after comparing numbers with others on the forums, I am way off.
heres some problems I think it may be:
Spark plug blowout
belt slip
not enough fuel?
tune?
so along with those things, I have some questions. Can you hear belt slip? If it's tuned wrong, won't that affect power as well? I am thinking its not belt slip because the car just made big numbers but could something have gone wrong since then? heres my time slip info:
r/t .097
60 ft 2.0 (i know its slow, trying to get my launch down)
330 5.20
1/8 7.75
1/8 mph 96.98
1000 9.92
1/4 11.77
mph 120.67
mph ranged from 117-120
I just want to go fast like the rest of you so please leave your hate at home. This is the first boosted car I have ever messed with so I am trying to learn everything I can. Any help is greatly appreciated
