jderry's 1996 Camaro

100 is nothing really but Jeremy has given you very safe advice, have fun.

Alright, that sounds good to me, what should I set my window to? Shift points are @ 6500, I usually just leave off the brake, 3600 stall converter, and rev limiter on my tune is 7000.

Set the gap around .035 - use a br7ef

Hit it with 100 - 50 is just wasting time.

Use 93 octane and pull 4-6* and let it eat it.

What is a good gap to start with? Would it be a good idea to use the 100 unleaded I have been, or mix some 110 in with it?

Not sure on the gap. Why are you using anything other than 93? Not that its hurting anything but I doubt you need it.

[jderry]

Shoot it with 100. Shut it off and pull the plugs. Baby steps are what keeps engines alive

So I am going back to Milan this weekend, hoping to spray, not sure what shot yet, 50-100.

I thought you were running ET Street radials for whatever reason.

[birdie2000]

When I ran bias-ply ET Streets I started around 15psi and worked my way down in .5psi increments.

[kammi10]

That much for the bias ply?

no with a bias ply you will want way less pressure.. i would start around 12lbs i think.. not sure what most people run in those tho.

[jderry]

For your car I would start around 22PSI. Lower as needed. The more air pressure you can run the better.

3.90 is a great ratio IMO. I was really wanting to try one in my LS1 car.

What is a good pressure to run those ET Streets at? I think I need more gear too, I was just barely turning 5000 rpm through the traps. I am thinking a 3.90 ratio. The calculator online said with a 26" tire, 3.42 rear gears, and the 1:1 third gear ratio my car should be about 4900 rpm, with a 3.90 it should be about 5550 rpm. I think for the money it may be worth a shot. I have been wanting to replace my pinion seal anyways.

Did the car dead hook? 1.72 isn't bad but I'm sure it has more in it.

It did not feel like it "snapped" or however you want to say it out of the hole. I was running those ET streets at 20 psi, not sure if that was why. They just don't do good track prep on the high school/college days, which sucks because I paid the same amount to race as I would a test and tune. I managed a few 1.78 1.77 60 foots with a 12 inch 2200 stall and the nitto DRs, so I was hoping for atleast a 1.6x with the new setup.
