Yes, Starkweather does a lot of Camaros. He does a lot of blower installs using the factory GM OE parts. He has guys coming to his shop from all over the West Coast. Twice when I was in his shop I have seen cars from out of state there having work done and being tuned. I was there Wednesday at his shop he had a guy there that just drove down from Seattle just to have a supercharger kit installed. His own Camaro ZL1 puts down 1378hp to the ground. All I can say is workmanship is impressive.

Gonna see what I can do to rectify that before I get out to the track again.
Did you see the yellow C7 Z06 out there?

Ku, yep! I'm having a really bad wheel hop problem during my burnouts now though, so I don't even get any heat in the tires so I'm slipping and sliding all over the place.
Gonna see what I can to rectify that before I get out to the track again.

For myself, after I install the DRM Bilstein shocks I reduce my wheel hop quite a bit. Just a suggestion.

The C7Z got there late and had paper plates so I'm sure the gentleman was still learning his car and is going to be ripping it up soon, but it was traction limited that night to ~12.5 @ 120mph.
Thanks for the tip on the DRM Bilsteins! I think I'm going to replace my trans/diff mounts with Hinson polyurethane units and see if that helps. Shocks will be next on my list if I still have a problem. The last thing I want to do is race the car when it's wheel hopping and risk my axles/diff/etc.
Regards, Rich
