What can i do to improve times?? Well i took my car out for the first time since swapping to a TH350, I have to say I am very happy with how it ran, but now i'm looking for ways to make it a little better. As of now I have a hot cam, p/p factory heads, fast intake 78mm if im not mistaken, p/p throttle body, headers and full exhaust. I have a wet shot kit that isnt fully installed yet, but i would like to get it dialed in the fastest i can n/a first then add the spray.
My best run of the day was
R/T .430
60' 1.728
330' 5.031
1/8 7.758
MPH 90.56
1000 10.117
1/4 12.117
MPH 112.64
That was with z06 wheels on the front that weight 59 pounds a piece with tires, so obviously im looking into getting some skinnys for the front, and i was using a 17" vette wheel in the rear with a m/t drag radial, which i plan on getting 15" welds and radials for the rear.
As far as suspension goes it is all stock except for the torque arm has been relocated off the tail-shaft with the BMR th350 cross member.
Hope i posted all the info, and didnt ramble to much. Any help would be appreciated, and if there is any more info needed feel free to ask

well its actually just the torque arm mount to move it off the transmission, lca's are aftermarket non adjustable boxed. I'm looking to get an adjustable torque arm. I just recently removed the front sway bar and put skinnies on the front.
What I'm curious about is adjusting the torque arm, and how to set the pinion angle properly??

Right now it has a 3.42 with the stock 10 bolt, the converter is a 3500 or 3800 stall not 100% sure on the brand it came with the transmission swap i bought.
