Bangin' on the door to 10's........ I ran a new personal best last night in the black car. Still working on the suspension tuning and I'm learning a ton in the process. Just got some Strange single adjustable shocks installed yesterday in the front to help with weight transfer and they seemed to really help out the launch compared to the stiff Billsteins. The car is a 6sp (and lowered) so don't be too hard on the 60' time lol.... 
Still working on the suspension settings but I'm making some good progress in the traction department from what it was. Here's a list of the major mods:
387 LS1 w/ported L92's, 236/236 cam
1-3/4 headers w/trueduals
6sp w/Monster Level III
9", Detroit Locker, 3.89
BMR Kmember
SFC's
6pt Rollbar
CE Rear Drag shocks 50/50
Strange S/A Front Shocks setting 3 (275lb springs)
Spohn rear suspension (ta/lca's/lca brackets)
15x4 Fronts
15x8 Rears w/MT ET Streets (bias)
!front sway bar
Moderate weight reduction
Here is my best pass last night.... Sooooooo close to a 10 sec timeslip lol...
60' - 1.66
1/8 et - 7.111
1/8 mph - 99.22
1/4 et 11.03
1/4 mph 125.55
I backed it up with an 11.09 @ 124.98.

They made a huge difference in the way the car leaves the starting line.
