I wana go drag racing 'Help"
 

Hello all, I have a stock 96 z28 and want to start bracket racing this car. I dont need to drive it on the street. I have some drag racing experience (in dragsters) but need some help in the door car department. I want to start doing mods slowly as the budget allows and want to spend my money wisely where i'll get the best ET for the buck. Obviously getting what power I do have now to the ground is key. I would like to here from some other camaro drag racers to find out what they would do in my case. What mods do I start with. I'm not looking at setting any records I just want to be concistant and competive. Thanks!

start by getting a rule book, and deciding what class you'd like to run in. Lowering weight is always easy, and cheap.Suspension upgrades are always a great improvement.Alot of guys also change gears, which may help with times

so far my best buy has been drag radials i picked up a used set of nitto dr's from a friend for 25 bucks.. go them mounted on a spair set of salad shooters and lowered my 1/8 et by .3 .. so dropping 3 tenths with less than 50 bucks aint bad. although if u have the money i would recommend getting new radials because i ran on my friends MT and it was a completely different feeling.

Thanks for the reply's. I do have a rule book and plan on running bracket et's street class in the Summit et race's at Sacramento and Seras Point. I would just like to get the thing in the high 13's to low 14's with out dumping a ton of cash. I will look into the M/T's and plan on a major diet -seats, a/c, smog, exhaust, air bags etc. I will take it out next week in stock trim to get some base numbers. Do you guys have any experience at how I should launch the car stall rpm and air preasures and any other tricks that might help would be appriciated. Thanks!!

every car and every track is different, best thing is play with it
