DR's would really help that 60ft tiem... you need to be around 1.8....
tires will get you faster.. start there...

How many times have actually raced at the track? Not trying to be rude but that 60 ft even with street tires should be better. A 355 with the mods you have and the fact that it is a LT1 torque beast, you should be able to get a 1.98- 2.00 flat. Your reaction time is great though!! Maybe you just need to feather the clutch a little more.

the reaction wasnt that good.. its on a .000 light not a .500 .. ive pulled a .023 light before beating a 402 ls1 off the line and 11 second 5.0 off the line and some other fast cars and im a 17 year old kid with a pretty much stock lt1. get that reaction down and some tires to help that 60' and youll be on your way to alot better times

reaction time has nothing to do with your E.T, u can sit at the tree all day, and still run 14.2's

Don't panic, yet...Get some DRs on stock 16x8 wheels...255 50 R16 M/T DRs would be nice...practice, practice, practice...which will help you with your 60', and isn't the weather down there hot and humid this time of year? That can account for .5 on an n/a car..I know I'm .3-.5 tenths slower in nasty weather...I don't run at all until end of August/September...

hey people his problem is not his reaction time or tires.

His 60' does suck yes but that's not the main thing he should be worried about. You have some serious problems if you are only trapping 101 with a heads/cam/suspension car.

I don't see any exhaust in his sig... I cam really won't help much if the motor can't breath. But your right 101 trap is low

well that's definitely part of your problem. Your machine shop is dumb if they think stock exhaust + no headers is "fine" for h/c. You will make no power with that.

Wow.. please tell me you have a tune?

If you don't, get a tune, headers, real exhaust then go back and trap 108+.
