I'm considering doing some drag racing--just a little bit--at an event held by one of the local clubs, here in Mass... The thing is, I've done a ton of drag runs in a Mustang, but never in my Camaro.

There's got to be a trick to launching with street tires, without breaking the rear-end or smoking the clutch...right? Anyone care to eleborate? I figure bump the konis to soft (I have SAs) and that's about all I can do. I have a T2R if that even matters and I'll be on street tires--Azenis 615s.

A stock LS1 should be shifted somewhere around 5800 if I remember right. You want to shift right as the horspower starts to fall off. Problem is, the stock tach is a bit slow and you will just have to figure out where to shift to get the best times. But, 5800 sounds about right.

Bone stock LS1s generaly run low to mid 13s if driven well. I ran a 13.40@104 at Bristol TN {around 2000ft above sea level} in 90 degree temps. Later, I added a LID and some drag radials and ran a 12.98@108 at a seal level track in 70 degree temps.
