At Gainesville I usually 60' around 1.60-1.64. In Valdosta I pulled 1.58 60'. If the weather is ok I expect low to mid 1.6 60's and 12.1-12.3 @ 109 to 110. We will see how close I am.
EJ I think your car can 60' as good or better you just have to find the sweet spot on the convertor. My car only puts down 321rwhp and 324rwtq on the convertor that's in it. And I'm only on 3.42 gears.

My best was 1.8, pretty sure that was my best 1/4 time too. I need to practice flashing the stall because I was never doing that my last times at the track. And I think i just need to heat the **** outa my tires. I was doing too much conserving tread before... We'll see

Hell yeah, get some. Last Nov when we were at gville, the night you blew up your motor, you were running 12.2's right? My best so far was 12.5 but I just put an intake on my car so it should be good. Saw you had 12.6 on street tires, sounds like it will be close

Wierd thing is I've always thought the 2-3 shiftpoint was off, too high, and hitting limiter untill i back off a tad. But I guess its probably just been slipping for a while..? The torque curve on my old dyno sheet from last summer looks very similar how it backs down after 5k. We will see

Wow, 37whp. Makes me want to get one. I've always thought it's only good for solid 15whp or so on a h/c car. Were both dynos done on Doc's dyno and in similar weather?
Definitely sounds like the trans was slipping. It would seem you're about 3-4mph short on that trap speed pre FAST, which looks like a symptom of a slipping trans. I'd expect low 120's with that hp on a cool day, but not in the weather we've been having lately, lol.
