Hey LT, nice meeting you Sunday, your car is impressive! As I told ya I have tons of passes on my stalled car running the mickeys and have tried many different launches. 18 to 20 seem to work best for me, when my motor was stock cammed with minor bolt ons flashing the converter would get me my best ets. Now with the cam in it it wants more rpm so I load it up to about 2200-2600 and go and have hit some good times doing it that way.
Now your LT1 has a different power band I'm sure so your technique might not be the same so I would say just try some different ways,all trial and error. As for the skinnies I picked up almost .15 et and 1.5 mph. I should have mine on this weekend so I can get into the 11.80s range to keep up with you guys.
You should get many more runs this weekend and I'm sure you will nail down some good numbers, I'd be glad to watch you run and help in anyway I can. Sometimes it helps being the "old guy" with alot of experience.
