So I took the car up to lebanon valley for the last pass of the year. Only changes from my last run was took off the mickey thompson drag radials for a set of hoosier 295/55/15 drag radials and put on a founders adjustable tq arm. Car ran great didnt miss a beat.
Its a Cam only Trans Am with a 3800 stall and 4.10's. Da was about 800 on the time of this run.
No idea never weighed it, its lightened up a little im 250 lbs so whatever weight i took out is right back in lol. Im pretty happy with the car tho im sure with a little more fine tuning it will go faster but just gotta wait till next year to find out.
Track prep was pretty good it was my best 60ft to date. Trans was built by freddy brown out of long island previous owner had it built so im not 100% sure how long ago that was.
Converter is a 9.5 inch FTI 3800 with i believe a 2.1 str. Its not a NA specific converter its something that could be sprayed. I really like it as far as stall speed i just wish it had more shift extension, right now it shifts at 6600 and drops down to about 4800 on the data log. If it would maybe drop to 5300 or so that would be perfect.
I got a good friend who tunes my car, i am going to do some stuff over the winter most likely a new rear been looking at the s60.
I pretty much go through a new 10 bolt every year gettin sick of it. If i have any money left over i wanna try to throw some more power at it maybe a set of heads or some spray. Goals for 2016 is to get in the 10's.
Makes sense then as the converter isn't giving you the most performance wise, especially with that dropoff. How High are you spinning it? Shift RPM?
I think spray would help it out a lot as it should. Definitely some room for improvement on that 60 especially considering the gears you're running one would think.
I'm just surprised you're not trapping more in the back half.
I shift the car at 6600. Im pretty happy with the mph not for nothing, car only made 380 wheel hp its a pretty mild setup thats very streetable. It would deff pick up with a looser converter and shifting higher.

That's a good plan. I love my s60 with the s-trac it bolted in just like the 10 bolt, it's just heavier lol. I might be selling some stock 799s soon so if you're interested in going that route let me know.
Where did you buy your s60 from? Whag gears do you have in it?
I ordered it from through Carl at CRP. He was awesome to deal with and I highly recommend doing business with him. I have 3.73s and I bought a new driveshaft at the same time.

Makes sense then I agree on the last sentence. I don't think your time is bad I just think you may be able to get a little more out of it is all...
