Finally went to the track: Milan Dragway Well went to the track yesterday for the first time ever. Had a blast and will be back again in the near future. Was a little disappointed with my times but that was mostly because of my bad 60'.
Best pass of the day was:
12.7x at 107.4 mph with a 1.9x 60'
All passes were 12.7 to 12.9 with my 60' 1.9 to 2.0.
If I can get my sixty down to the 1.6x range I could probably go 12.4x. Let me know what you all think.

Thanks
Yeah the stall is a great mod.
At first I wasn't really happy with it but when I went from 2.73 to 3.42 gears it made it feel a lot tighter and a lot more fun to drive. Probably should have went with the 3.73's but the 3.42's are good for now.

What 60' were you getting with those tires and that stall?
My best was 1.9.
Plus it wasn't helping I didn't do any form of burn out and I had about 28psi in the drag radials.Edit: Nevermind on the 60' I just saw it in your sig. haha

You must have been the one with the NBM Z28. I was wondering what you had done to be hitting 11's. Your car sounded good. I thought a heard a little lope of a cam but wasn't sure.

I guess we'll see next time I'm up there if this will help get that 60' down.
P.S. All my buddies were shocked how "stock" your car sounded and then ran 11's. I told them it doesn't take much to get these LS1's moving.

Racing is like a drug, you just want to keep going faster.
My best time is 12.45@ 111mph w/ 1.93 60ft. My next time I am doing a good tune up and see what it may do.

Yeah I was going to bring a tire pressure gauge to let some air out but forgot it so I just ran as is. The way it sounds is that 17-20psi work good with m/t drag radials but I still have the 10 bolt too so I don't want them to get too sticky.

That's a nice ET and mph you have there.
Yes 20 pounds should be okay! Auto's are easier on the rear end even with the stall! I load up to 1500 rpms and let it go. When you load up it doesnt shock the rear end. I'm on the stock 10 bolt and I also have 3.42's I have hundreds of passes like it! You have a nice car!

Well its hard to tell for just the stall because I did my LT's and ORY at the same time. Went from 23-25mpg all day long in stock form, then after the mods it dropped to about 17-20mpg's. Then I went from 2.73's to 3.42's and it might have changed to 17-19mpg's.
I had massive wheel hop too, and all kinds of answers on how to fix it. All I did was get adjustable lower control arms and the hop is completely gone.

I have the Spohn LCA's with the poly/rod combo ends. I've never adjusted them, just had the shop that installed them do it.
Here they are: http://www.byunspeed.com/product_inf...products_id=67
It might have helped I put on UMI boxed sub frame conectors on too but I think the LCA's did the job.
If you're lowered you wil probably need the relocation brackets. I'm not lowered and do not have them.

Thanks alot. Alot of good info. I think if i can stop the axle hop i might get close to a 12.59. Right now it hops so bad feels like its going to break something so i am no all in it at the start

No problem. And yes my wheel hop was so bad it seemed like my car was going to break in half and now there is absolutely none. Didn't matter if I had my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's or my MT ET Streets the wheel hop is gone.
