What oil are you using? Testing results of a racing friend indicated Mobil 1 0w-20 to be .04 quicker then 5w-30 mobil 1 in his low 10 second n/a pump gas chevelle.
What Front springs do you have in the Camaro Now?
I see you are using the Koni SPA1 drag shocks, Nice choice, although i would have suggested the Koni Street Adjustable shocks, which are a range stiffer then the SPA1, and are fine for street use.
This is my Camaro BTW:

BTW, you car should be warmed up from the drive to the track. Install a moroso water pump drive kit, so that you can have the ability to cool the motor off consistantly each pass. Switch belts at the track to another alternator belt, and the water pump gilmer drive.
Hot Oil and Cool water make Power, and lower staging temps will lower the chance of detonation during the pass.
Using a light oil the oil temp will settle in the burnout box.
Water temps are the single most important contribution to consistancy, aside from the driver.
Stage the same each time, burnout the same each time.
