I made my first trip back to the track after the crappy 13.7 I ran with the HOT CAM KIT, full exhaust, full intake, 3.73s, programming, and a few others... (see my page)

First, the only things different on my car for this track appearance was switching FROM 3.73 TO 3.42 rear end gears. And the only other difference was I got PCMFORLESS tuning. I also ran the tires at 25 PSI when i had them at 27 PSI last time. (Dunlop 5000 comps)

And here's the slip (Best time, the others were A LOT WORSE) ...

RT- .808
60- 2.045
330- 5.859
1/8- 8.990
mph - (wasn't working)
1/4 - 13.996
MPH - 97.64

So since I've changed my car, I HAVE LOST 2 TENTHS AND 4 MPH Im so fed up with this car I am definitely contemplating selling it. See my page for detailed mod list, but basically, i have HOT CAM KIT, full exhaust, full intake, 3.42s, and programming, plus a few other minor mods.... AND I'M RUNNING STOCK CAMARO TIMES

I have no idea what's going on, and i don't even know where to start looking for problems...

PLEASE HELP! I'm so frusturated.

Sometimes all the mods dont flow together like clock work. Often you need to do serious tunning to get the desired affect. Often times mods do cost people time, and 2 tenths isnt bad and may be a result of the tire pressure difference. Unfortunatly what you sometimes need to do is reverse the mods and use a different set up, which can get real costly quick.

Your running stock times..id get it scanned and find out whats going on

Don't see why you went back to 342's but it sure won't help. Also I didn't notice any fuel injector changes to keep up with the lt4 cam or the 52mm TB.

I would be monitoring fuel pressure also especially at the track. The accuracy of air/fuel ratio meters leaves a lot to be desired.

One last item, take into consideration the temperature and atmospheric pressure between the 2 times you were at the track. I noticed your from the Chicago area and both of those things can vary quite a bit.

I don't know what Dunlop 5000's are, but if it's a street radial, don't lower the tire pressure, this is bad. With a radial, the center contact patch will raise up, minimizing traction. If it's a slick, never mind.
