Andy it's been a logn time coming. The 28 inch tire will get you enough gear to probably go 122 to 125 depending on converter effeciency... certainly another .2 to .3 with nothing else at all I'd wager.
Good work, now get a little more weight out while you're waiting on the cool air, and I think 10.50 is doable
EDIT: I just watched the video, the car spun, and you left off the footbrake.....
Put the 28 inch tire on, put the thing up on that transbrake, WOT, and let it eat. Coming out on the nitrous like that, and the hook from the 28 inch tire is going to make a BIG difference in the way the car runs, so much so that I think it's gonna go 10.50 in the heat, nevermind in cooler air.
What did the plugs look like after a full hit?

1. Leave on TB instead of Footbrake
2. Open the cut out (made 6rwhp and 6 rwt NA on dyno)
3. 28 tire and run it out the back door
4. Don't short shift it, like always when i make the first pass right
5. Bottle pressure wasn't quite a 1000, close but not quite
6. Work on the timing a little more, 2 members said add and one said subtract, I will work through this by reading more plugs.
Oh, about the plugs. I'm ashamed to say that I was so excited after the run and with the bad weather coming in quickly and me having to change tires to get home I didn't even pull them

Verdad Gallardo Next time definitely pull the plugs and see what's going on. If they still look heavy on fuel, I'd take a fuel jet away before adding timing... do like I described with a couple jets and play with it that way. IMO, you have the timing about as high as I'd go on a stock motor.. I'd have put it at about 20 to be safe.. I think you're still o.k. though judging from the plug pic's you sent.
Just get the 28's on, do what needs to be done to make the room for them (28x10.5S et drag) and next time you go, open up the cutout and just leave off the transbrake, foot to the floor.
You'll see how that setup will work when you do that that's for sure, and then you can get a feel for the shock settings, if they're right. And pull the plugs, see what they look like after a full track pass.... that will tell the story.
10.6 is my guess just from putting on the 28 and leaving off the brake, probably around 122 to 125

You know, last time I was at the track back in May, there was some guy there in a silver camaro that looked at me as he was packing up to go home and said "I won't be back out here until October...it's just too hot". Let's see...who was that guy... 
I knew you couldn't stay away that long. Congrats on the 10's...nice!!

I hope to see you out there soon, I'm trying to get my new LCAs now so I can get the 28s on and let her rip 
Thanks!
Of course it's still not going to be anything to challenge that silver bullet you drive.
I should be out there again before too much longer. I have been doing a little sweating in the garage myself this summer. I did the LS1 lid conversion on the old LT1, and my car is FINALLY going in for a much-needed paint job next week. I also have a 3.42 rear end in my garage waiting to replace that tall 2.73 that it has now. So next time you see me out there, maybe I won't have the ugliest and slowest car at the track.
