I don't know of ANY Camaro that can do this right now. Very nice!!!!

Thanks! I can't wait for Camarofest, its gonna be a good time, I was talking to Andy today doing a little more planning. We're making a few changes this week that will hopefully let me lay down some quick passes & maybe give that other ADM ZL1 a little bump. Hi Dan! Andy is in a win win situation & is honestly staying neutral, seems to enjoy the in shop rivalry between Dan (Trackman), Jess Rayo & myself. I just might pull one of Dan's plug wires if I get the chance though.

Awesome runs, Do you have any vids from the day.

The stock ones that's for sure

I'm going to have to put that 1/2 mile racing on my bucket list.

If your going to pull one, can you pull them all? I need to change plugs anyway.

From my testing the M&H works best if you pressure down to exactly 17 pounds and then really heat it with a serious burnout. This combo got a 60 ft in the 1.4's for me and then would bog my 900 ft/lb of torque if I dropped the clutch too fast..... I don't know how they would ride at 173mph with that pressure but they really stick and were fine into the 130s in my 1/4 miles. Good luck at Camarofest, I wish I could be there for you guys to whip on me....lol.

Great job. Get it sorted out and go 175+ next time.

bkatzman · 04-21-2014, 04:00 PM

Nice Job!

ayousef · 04-21-2014, 06:12 PM

what diameter rear tires were you running? Im asking because I cant find a proper (non skinnie) front tire to match a 28" M&H tire at the back?

Also how much power were you making for those runs and what fuel octane/meth if you don't mind, that always helps.

mylftft · 04-21-2014, 09:01 PM

My front wheels are 20×5.5 Weld RTS with a Pirelli P Zero in a 235/45R20 run at 35 psi
My rear wheels are 20×11 Weld RTS with a Mickey Thompson ET Street in a 305/35R20
My drag rear wheels are 17×11 Weld RTS with a M&H Racemaster in a 325/45R17

I run the front wheel & tire combo with either of the rears & have no issues at all, I play with my tire pressures till I get a good result, I usually start at 28psi for the high speed runs & work my way down. I've went as low as 12psi at the drag strip.

The Texas mile 201.9 pass was made on the stock wheels with the stock Good Years & had 28psi in them.

If I'm racing the car I always run it on C16 no matter what, I want plenty of octane, fuel is not a place to cheap out. My car runs on 91 octane for daily driving in California. It runs & makes big power on E85 also but the inconsistency with it scares me to hammer on the car alot with it.

mylftft · 04-21-2014, 09:03 PM

I'm guessing the car was right around 1000rwhp with the psi I had the boost controller set at.

Y'all keep it up, I'm pulling for you.

The Baron · 04-27-2014, 12:27 PM

Told you them 20s is where its at. The rts look great on the car

mylftft · 04-27-2014, 12:44 PM

Thanks! I'm gonna find out which will really work better on a drag strip at Camarofest this weekend, I'm gonna try to knock Trackman off the top step, if I run a 9 on the 20's it'll be a bonus.
