Default Slightly deeper in the 10s

I've been 10.94 @ 124 previously. After that run I had to upgrade my stock diff to a 9" IRS which reduced my times to 11.0 - 11.1 @ 121 range with the same low-mid 1.6 60fts

Only change this year is 15x4 Skinnies to get rid of the 18" street wheels. That small change made all the difference in the world. Here's my new PB...

10.809 @ 124.70 w/ a 1.52 60ft

I backed that up 3 times with 10.8x with low-mid 1.5 60ft. I would of never guessed Skinnies could of impacted my 60fts so much. Although the 9" robbed me a little bit of power, the reliability and the true posi diff makes it all worth it. The stock LSD sucked.

Here is my mod list for reference...

2005 Pontiac GTO

-Vararam Cold Air Intake
-MAF Deleted, SD Tuned
-NGK BR7EF Plugs @ .032 gap
-Ed Curtis LSX "Street Sweeper-XL" Camshaft (Actual Specs, Lift: 631"/612" Duration: 236*/240* LSA: 111+2)

-OBX 3" Mandrel Bent Mid-pipes no Catalytic Converters
-OBX 2.5" Mandrel Bent Cat-back
-Deatsch Werks 50lbs (550cc) Fuel Injectors

-Nitrous Outlet 90mm Plate System, “Wet Kit” (150 Shot)
-NOS Mini Progressive Nitrous Controller 15974
-Lingenfelter LNC-2000 Timing Controller
-HP Tuners MVPI PRO tuned by Calibrated by Karger
-RPM Level 7 Built Race Transmission 4L65E
-Circle D SFI Certified Flex Plate w/ ARP Bolts
-FTI 9.5" Torque Converter SRLS0086 (3700-3800 Stall). Nitrous Converter

-15x8s with 275/50/15 ET Street R Radials
-15x4 Skinnies

Now I need to figure out how to get deeper in the 10s...

Congrats!! Great color on that goat. Skinnies makes a difference for sure. Less weight and rolling resistance!
