jderry's 1996 Camaro

[jderry]

You got me!

Last year it ran the same times with 1 more mph and a .05 slower 60'.

I guess I have changed a lot since.

I forgot I had Steve to tune out the TC lock-up at WOT, so maybe that's where my MPH went.
The car feels a lot better launching though and is much easier to control.

12.30s my ass. That video is 20 seconds long. Obviously a 20 second run =P

[jderry]

But it does look like I did an okay job setting it up for a first try.
I like how smooth it feels launching.

[jderry]

It was running 12.30s yesterday @ 109. 1.64 60's.

I lost MPH but gained a bit in the 60' with the gear and suspension work. I added a bit of weight though.
I feel like the tune has more in it.
I want to get it on a dyno or get an in person tune rather than a mail order tune.

That being said Steve does a great job with mail order tunes!

Looks like you have the suspension working good. Leaves nice and smooth without a ton of squat.

Your getting close! Some drag wheels would do it. What's the car running?

[Fox Slaughter]

Mine are 15 all around.

I think my Weld RTS fronts with tire gotta weigh like 10lbs.

I am jealous of those Welds!
I would love a 15/17 setup of the black ones!

[jderry]

Yep! This was today on motor too.

So I feel like with some weight reduction or bottle it will pull them.


I have a tubular K member from FASHOOTER and plan on getting some nice lower arms.
I want some drag wheels that would help a lot too.

[Fox Slaughter]

So close to getting the fronts off.

Is a rosette weld the little bubble looking thing on each tube front and back?
I thought it was just a pressed in pin.

The seam between the tube and housing is what I welded, as well as around that pin-like thing

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Also, aren't these rears rosette welded? I guess I haven't really looked when I've be swapping/rebuilding these 10 bolts

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Did you get the lube with them? I wasn't liberal enough with it and they squeaked
