Default Finally got to track...should it have more?

99' TA......Patriot 2.5 5.3 heads, cam (can't remember specs), ls 6 intake, power glide, 4500 stall, 4.56 gears. Car has all interior removed, 8 pt bar, a/c deleted, open exhaust.

All runs were 1/8 mile only. Best of 7.21 with a 1.60 short time on 26" drag radials. MPH traps always read fast at this track, so no good data there.

Rev limited set to 6600 with a hypertech, but car is hitting the limiter right before the finish line. May be too much converter, its a 8".

What do you all think?

Why would you have all them mods and back it up with a hypertech, get a custom tune and it'll wake it up BIG time

It's my buddies car, it has had a tune with LS1 edit a few years ago. He said he only used the hyper to adjust limiter...it made 430 to the tires when it had a 4l60e and a 3500 yank

Pretty sure the second you plug that hyper tech handheld into the car, whatever tune that was there is immediately wiped off. Not 100% on that, but pretty sure.

Either way, The 60' looks slow for the mods. I'd start with a tune, man.
