Got another LS1

Speaking of the 90%..the 90% there today were a joke. Blue, you would've lost it man. At least a dozen coyotes there, and not ONE broke into the 13s! I'm talking stalling on the line, missing gears, literally leaving like they just pulled out of the church parking lot, etc. It was bad. It wasn't just the 5.0 guys though, all the street cars were an embarrassment. There was a clean white Integra running mid 11s at 129mph and a C5Z running low 11s at mid 120s that were impressive.

Yea, I can't believe they use such tall gearing in any of these types of cars, but especially a damn Z28.

ROLL into the throttle. No stabbing. No flooring it. Just take off like you would aggressively leave a stoplight. I do go around the water box with street tires and all, do a quick 2 second burnout to pick up the track (might not even help) but outside of that street tire launching is just like the street. Just gotta be easy on her man. It'll still turn a good ET, trust me.

What did yours trap? One other thing I forgot to suggest to you when running your Z28. Never run it in O/D, always drop it down to "D". Its not going to happen through the 1/4, but going into 4th gear under WOT is usually when a 4l60 says "*** this" and starts to deteriorate . When you lose 4th, you lose 2nd gear as well being they run off the same servo. Its just a good habit to get into to so if you're ever out on the highway doing pulls, you'll naturally drop it down and lock it out of 4th.

What's the proper way to go into O/D in our cars? Roll race situation.
Sounds like you were at my track day lmao. Do you remember that c5 I told you about a couple months ago with a stock shortblock that made almost 700whp with a f1d? He was at the track, on an 18" et street and right off the line just floored it and spun like crazy every time, then wondered why he ran mid 11's.

there's no safe way to go into overdrive on an auto when at wot. Do it too many times and it'll wipe out the o/d band then you wont have it at all anymore.
