Considering the way T.S. cobras get pulled by modded Z06's, I'm actually quite surprised the camaro hung in that close. (although it was only 20-80).

Don't fear PD/Twin Screw blowers. They can make a 1000ftlbs at 2000rpm, it does not matter. The race is going to be between 4500rpm and redline. That is exactly where the centrifugal's shine. Granted a twin screw blipping the throttle with all that low end feels damn strong, but over rated in a drag race IMO.

Stock tires don't spin off the line with a Centri, the car acts like stock below 3200. That is one of the benefits driving it around town. No body knows its there. Bo traction issue thus far. It wont burn out from a stop without using the break.
In my honest opinion, for me, I should have went pd. I drive under 100 almost all the time.
I didn't come to this conclusion until just now.

Car had no problem blasting 1st gear loose when we "tested" it.
Make sure traction control is off. It won't do a rolling burnout without the brake because you still have a stock stall and don't have 1000whp. Get a stall, and that thing will annihilate tires with ease. For now, the stock stall is what is making your car quick from a dead stop.PD blowers are cool, and they are GREAT for Camaros... but I'd never put one on a light *** Corvette.
Rich, for a fee, I can ensure you win.

It was overly obvious your car wasn't on 93 when I tuned it. It still felt pretty good but I set it up to make use of 93 so when you finally did fill it up, it'd perform.

Pfft, nobody round these parts knows anything.

The car was real fast when Chad gave me a test ride. I drove it real fast. Then it sat and felt slow. This could get embarrassing for a normal person from here.
No, I don't always turn off the tc. And no, I don't even think I'm always in first gear. I went and practiced tonight after reading my manual. The car only shifts down to 2nd on It's own when in "S" mode (supercharger mode). Not saying I do that, but someone could. When in "D" (dummy mode) you're hardly in first except at a dead stop.
So, I was taking it all for granted, being a auto and all. I lit them up going into 2nd gear pretty good tonight. That is normally 3rd gear for me. I'm a dummy.
My bro in law might be in trouble.
For those that can't read my cryptic writing, I was only down shifting to 2nd gear when paddle shifting.

My A&A kit has more rwtq at 2200-2500 than the car did stock at any RPM. You must have a hole somewhere.

Leave it in drive, come to a dead stop, turn off traction control, and slam the business pedal to the floor.
If the A6 is set to downshift to first when you hammer it from a roll, it will be pretty uncontrollable.
