what headers are you running from TSP? the 7/8" or 3/4"? That is a killer time, I a huge fan of doing work on small cams. Also what is your race weight with the car currently?

1 7/8 headers Haven't weighed the car yet Guessing it is around 3300lbs + 200lb driver. It's went 10.90's 123+ mph the last 2 times I've been with it both times with the cutout closed. Waiting for some really good air for a chance to get in the 10.80's maybe .70's

Thanks fellas I'm real happy how the car has been running. Have a deposit on a 9" from MWC. Should be done In a few weeks. This 10bolt in the car is doing really well but I realize it could break at any time.

When I went from my 12 bolt with Madman suspension to Eric's Fab 9 and suspension, I went from cutting 1.21 60's as my best to instant 1.17-1.20 60's on the first time out.
With a little more testing I know I can go 1.14-1.15. I don't think I could of ever done that with the 12 bolt and Madman stuff.

Martin that's a big difference when your 60ft is already that low! The front end I have from them works well. Sounds like the rear will work just as good. I know I'm losing some 60ft without an anti roll bar.

Spoke too soon... Got some great air and a breeze blowing down track, was looking to throw down some 10.70's today but it wasn't meant to be. Snapped the 10 bolt like a stick on the first pass. Only went about 20ft lol

Your 60ft times look like you are launching the car from just above idle? If you haven't tried this yet give it a shot and you will most likely get your 10.8X pass. The last time I was out this is what I tried...
Stalling to 1500rpm-10.98@122.01 / 1.502 60ft
Stalling to 2000rpm-10.95@122.19 / 1.474 60ft
Stalling to 3000rpm-10.84@123.22 / 1.459 60ft
I did need to get the tires extremely hot to get it to grip but when it did the results go against what 90% of the people on this forum will tell you to do when launching an auto. I wanted to get one more pass in and try stalling it to just before it was pushing through the brakes but I ran out of time.

You make a really good point... 95% of cars at the track are leaving off a Trans brake or at high rpm's. I really wanted to give it a shot but I felt like the 10bolt would have snapped instantly. I got my MWC 9" housing in last night hopefully the rest will be here soon. I'm def gonna let it rip next time I get to the track
