Finally got into the 10's ! At the beginning of this summer I bought Chrispy's 385CI LS1 Forumla Firebird... he ran a best of 11.DOH with it 
Since then I converted it from a T56 to a 700R4 manual valve body... I also pulled out about 175lbs and added a drag suspension. When choosing the converter I went with one that would work with spray (Chris never sprayed it)... even though it would slow me down on the motor... The best I could muster was an 11.2 with it in ~2000ft DA. Last weekend I tried spraying for the 1st time...
This was with a 100HP TNT ring kit shot... 10.4 @ 132... the car picked up 8 1/10's and 10MPH!
We tried upping the jets a litttle... 10.2 @ 135
We need to do a little tuning with the spray and hopefully I'll have a 9 second timeslip soon!
Here's a shot from last weekend...
