Need Some Feedback from track

Just brought the Camaro out for the first time since new motor and suspension.

Best run of the night was 12.78
With a 60' of 2.017
Trap Speed of 111.94

Second was 12.90 @110 w/ 60' of 2.15

Third run was 12.96 @ 113.62 w/ 60' of 2.25

Car weighed in at 3570 w/ driver? And feed back on what it should be able to run if/when dialed in. I was hoping for low 12's maybe even touching 11's. Think it has it in it, if i can get it to hookup?

If you could hook half way decent (1.70) with some decent air, maybe a really low 12. Just my 2 cents.

I have run 11s at 109, but there are a great many variables to the equation in regards to gearing and torque.

.3 in the sixty foot may be worth .4 or .5 at the other end, or sometimes more, but there are way to many variables to predict anything realistic.

I have a 12 bolt. The torque from a stroker really needs sticky tires and sticky tires plus a clutch will roast your stock rear. I immediately began 11.8s with my stroker and there was a lot more left in it back when i had Et Streets (not the radials) 26 x 11.5 x 15 on 15 x 10 rims. if i had actually opened up the exhaust a bot more to get the trap speed up and leaned out the computer it would have been way fast and quick.

However I focused on my class and consistency and went to a taller tire to slow down the sixty foot times and become more consistent instead.

My suspicion is you need a 12 bolt or nine inch rear, either 3.73s or 4.10 gears, and some ET Streets, radial or bias (your choice) and you should hook well and get deep into the 11s.

Thanks

I was thinking i would be able to get into the 11's. Just need to save some dough for a new rear end. And some stickies... Is there anything to adjust on the rear end? Since everything is adjustable?

I have the Eibach drag spring all around, koniis up front, sears strockers in back, and an airbag on the passenger rear. I do have a six point welded bar which stiffens the chasis quite a bit so I thus far avoided subframe connectors.I use the traditional Et streets in the rear and skinnies up front with no front swaybar. I can pretty much hook on anything other than dirt.
