Mti 382 Stroker 1/4mi Times I finally ran a pretty good number with the all motor stroker,a bad transmission and a bad converter were keeping me from good numbers, now with a good converter and with the transmission finally shifting i clocked in hitting a best of 11.25 
on the 1/4mi with a trapspeed of 119.
Mods include: MTI 382 STROKER, MTI STAGE 2 LS1 HEADS, MTI R1 CAM, MAC MID-LENTH HEADERS, TCI 4400, 3:73 GEARS, LS6 INTAKE, MTI CARBON FIBER LID.
STILL HAVE STOCK SUSPENSION AND REAREND
I was wondering if these are the times i should be hitting, or should i be running faster, im hoping to go 10s on motor soon. The car was never able to be tunned correctly with the stroker becuase of my bad converter and transmission. Im looking forward to taking the car to MTI this weekend for tunning.
IF SOME OF THE MTI STAFF ARE LOOKING AT THIS POST MY BROTHER MANNY MIGHT BE GIVING YOU ALL A CALL SOON TO TAKE THE CAR UP THEIR THIS WEEKEND FOR SOME TUNNING AND TO BE DYNOED, YOU ALL MIGHT KNOW HIM, THE CAR IS THE 98 BLACK T/A WITH YELLOW DECALS SAYS PHANTOM ON THE FRONT WINSHIELD. THINKING OF GOING WITH A BIGGER CAM AND STAGE 3 HEADS, C-YA ALL THERE.

You'll definitely go faster with a few suspension mods and a 12 bolt.

well using a formula based on trap speed and assuming your race weight is around 3600, i came up with 473rwhp N/A this is very decent. (Keep in mind this is in no way accurate, just a ballpark figure).
IMHO as LEO said tuning + more traction should give better times and possible 10's.
Congrats on your setup.

Thanks you all, I ran the car on a street night, at our local track they only give the 1/4mi time on these nights, so it also left me wondering what my 60ft was. I used to be pulling in constant 1.55 60fts with just the heads/cam package pulling in 11.80s with a 3600vig. The week before i ran the 11.25 I ran 11.40s with the tci4400 and stroker and couldnt drop the 60ft from a 1.58. I dont understand why i was getting better 60fts with the 3600vig. I have been gettin good traction in all my runs, so im still in wonder of what my 60ft was when i ran the 11.25.

I ran a 11.61 @117+ with a 2000 Camaro with road race style suspension, lowered, stock shocks, 17 in. wheels (drag radials), Vig 2800 stock tranny (not shifting right either), 382 MTI like yours with smaller X1 cam, and stock rear with 3.23 gears at a crappy track (about 1,000 elevation) on a test and tune night (no track prep), and a 400lb driver! I am hoping for low 11's with built tranny and ET Streets and the new HAL drag front shocks.
