Default 6 Speed 60ft Record?? 1.30 9.95@137.69

I backed my 9 second runs at Englishtown this saturday at our QTP GM EFI Race #4.
Its still a six speed. I like rowing gears. Here is the breakdown of the run.

I pulled a 1.30 60ft. Is that a record?

60ft 1.30
330 4.02
1/8 6.32
1/8mph 107.85
1000 8.31
1/4 9.95
1/4 mph 137.69

Breakdown of the car:

1999 Camaro SS
364 LS1
Off Set Crank 3.8 Stroke
450 gram Rods
ET 225 Heads
236/248 Cam
QTP 1 3/4 HVMC Headers!!!!!
QTP Dual Cutout Y Pipe(valves closed)
QTP Prototype Side Exit Exhaust
QTP Quick Cam Cover
ASP 10% Pulley
Nitro Daves Black Widow Direct Port 200hp Shot
Moser 4.11 12 Bolt
28" C07 Hoosier Drags
QA1 Shocks/ Springs Set at 2 front 8 rear
Spohn PHR, LCA, TA, Drag Sway Bar, K Member, A Arms
LMR Built 6 Speed
Fidanza Alum Flywheel
Spec 3+ Clutch

Hope i didnt forget anything.
Also some notes on my shifting. I am not the fastest rowing the gears. Its a on going joke about that. I also lift when i shift. I do not powershift.

Here are some pics enjoy!

idk the record but really nice car man i love how its still a 6 speed. but ive heard that at the drag strip a steel clutch is better because the weight? obviously its harder to spin but i heard its better become in science terms it makes more energy to spin the clutch better from a stand still. now this could very well be wrong its just sometin i heard

I have a spool in the 12 bolt. It holds, but know i say that it will most likely break.

That's a wicked launch with a stick! What RPM do you leave at? Got any pics of that prototype side exhaust?

VERY nice! Any vids of the car at the track? I'd love to see em! Let us be the judge of your so called "slow" shifting, lol.

I think what your referring to is the inertia of the heavier steel flywheel, not clutch.

haha, and a lot of people hated on me for arguing the aluminum flywheel for a 1/4 car.

nice to see a 1.30 60ft on an aluminum flywheel.

I know it wasn't the record, but again, awesome job. I love seeing true stick cars being driven into single digit territory. Much more impressive than with an auto, in my opinion.

car looks pretty nice with that prototype exhaust. I was there and that car sounds really good. Good rowing of the gears. Leaves hard
