Awesome times man!
Your setup is very similar to what mine was. Although I was at 3250lbs race weight, my best was 10.4@130 with consistent 10.5-10.6 @ 128-129. Get that 60' down and you are there. You might also look into cutting some weight...

nothing is wrong with them. someone said i could get a better 60' and et. i think if my suspension was tweaked a little, car would improve more.

I was going to say,I run the same tire. It hooks pretty good for me but I'd say there is more in 60'. How high do you stall it up to?

Well my 346CI Formula went from high 1.5's 60 foot NA to low 1.40's 60 foot times by changing from MT 26X11.5X15 ET Streets to MT 26X10X15 ET Drags!

Best to date NA is 10.752 ET at 124.14 MPH.

By the way great times and results SSIRBY!

Well I am also not making enough power to run 10s. Must be nice lol. I am sure a slick would be more consistant.

I forgot my best 60 foot NA is 1.407 and backed it up with a 1.41 same day! I am usually around 1.43 to 1.45 on a prepped track!

I hopt that helps with your decision!
