Tuning at best would net me another tenth-not much more than that-I hardly think that is a waste of mods. I know guys with heads & cam w/o tuning-and I think that may cost them quite a few more tenths & drivability.

Some cars are just built a little better that others, and track conditions and temps vary. I have no problems-if you think my car is slow compared to other Camaros with similar mods-it's entirely possible.

My last (and only with htis car) best runs were back to back after a 1.5 hour drive, with coolant at 200+ degrees (not optimum), and lift shifting SLOWER than I normally would on the street to avoid the serious wheel hop I was getting. Maybe if I had a change to get it down another 30 degrees (and than apply that added HP & TQ to the ground) I might get another MPH out of her.

I am sure those Camaros ran under optimum conditions
