my search bar is broken here but i know this had to be covered so sorry for a new thread.
1: from older stuff on the internet its looking like 93 w/10% ethanol if anyone can confirm this still holds true?

just trying to maximize my LT1 performance stock (and my driving skill lol) been to the track 3 times now with a best run of 12.40 with a horrible 1.9 60ft

2: also would there be a benefit to like a drop in air filter like K&N? I want to keep stock air box for now until I get some miles on it before any upgrades to see if the drivetrain is solid.

3: I'm giving up on the launch control I think im going to try just in sport mode with traction control off next week, any launch advice would be appreciated!

Track info:
Elevation: 1200 ft above Sea Level
Total Length: 2,800 ft
Shutdown Length: 2000 ft
Track Width: 60 ft
Concrete Pad: 330 ft
Timing System: Accutime

1: Yes 93 pump gas (E10) is what the stock tune on the SS/LT1 is meant for.

2: I tried the drop-in air filter on my SS and it did not help performance on the dragstrip. IMO don't waste your money.

I just did a drop in k&n and took off the plastic shroud in front of the air box entrance. Picked up 1 mph on the draggy in very similar air conditions. Maybe some et but I had better traction.

93 octane is fine. auto or manual?

if the car isn't getting tuned, leave everything alone.

Single Tap will turn off traction control and leave stability control on or hold the traction control bottom for about 10 seconds if you want to turn everything off. And make sure to be in Tour while racing.

I will try that ty, so what's the science behind tour mode while racing? it sounds counter productive
