Default track results, its gettin better, but not quite there

I finally got out to the 1/8 track last night, here are the results:

r/t .154
60' 1.64
330' 4.619
1/8 7.09
mph 98.86

My setup consists of NX DP kit ,Ported AFR heads 217 cc, ported lt4 intake,37lb injectors, 58mm t.b. , 240/246 cam, th400,art carr 3600 on t-brake na, hals shocks, skinnies, m/t 28 x 10, 3.73 gears. My raceweight with me is 3400

Last year when I had my vig 4000, I cut a consistent 1.47 - 1.50 60'. I played around with the shocks and tire pressure. I was running 10 lbs in slicks cold. This was on 150 shot, so If I can get my 60' down to where it was last year, ill be running faster on the 150 than the 250. How much pressure are you guys running in your tires that have t-brakes and nitrous. Do you guys think I could have a 10.50-10.60 car on the 150 shot? What else can I do to get my 60' times down? Thanks in advance, Chris

I've run as low as 10 but prefer 12-14. I found 10 to be too unstable once I got to 90+ mph (swayed too much). What kind of stall are you running and what does it flash to on the bottle?

That thing is moving. Was that on motor? What pinion angle are you running?

I'd go up...sounds like you're wadding up the tires. a little bit of wrinkle is all you need. Try 11.5 psi cold.

whatever works best for you then. I havent had much experience with 60'ing what you are, so take my advice lightly, lol.

If you go lower then 10lbs, i would run rim screws tho.
