Just got back from the track. This is a 81' Camaro with a 355(home-ported World S/R 1.94/1.5 heads, 203/212@.050 50-state legal cam, 650 DP, Sportsman II dual plane intake, 1.5 roller rockers, MSD everything, 9.0 Compression) and with Nitto Drag Radials and my Tremec tko 5-speed I just cannot hook up and get anything better then a 2.16 60ft time.
I ran anywhere from 22-18 psi, heated them up in 2nd gear at 4,500 or so for 5 seconds. Tried launching at 3k but I just spin, anything lower and the car boggs down. Best run was a 14.15@98.18mph. I figure with that mph it def. has a high 13 second pass in it if it hooks. I even toke the front swaybar off to help traction, but simply cannot get it to hook. Anymore ideas? I have cheap slapper bars on it now and am switching to Cal-Tracs but I'm not sure thats my problem, it seems that with this relatively mild combo it should be able to hook now! Any thoughts?
