no, your gear tire combo look good, but i still think your off a lil on the 60 ft with that setup.

SAM99LS1, try a tire with a smaller footprint, like a 26x8.5 ET Street. That 11.5 tire is murdering you on the top side. I would dyno the car also, check the air/fuel, and make sure you are making decent power! Stew

I would think something is not right,i ran 12.72@107(1.72 60ft) with same bolt ons and stock cam and TB ,last year with Vig 3600.
Dropped to 12.432@ 108 (1.67) with Yank SS4000 and E/T streets.
IMHO you should have your car checked out,Maybe on the dyno with wide band O2's.
MPH is real low for your mods.
My pig weighs 3636 with me in it.
