I trapped 110.8 13.20 et. with just a lid and a hooker exhaust on the factory mud and snow goodyears. I have yet to get a good launch with it. It also put down 340 rwhp on a dynojet dyno at NE Dyno and tuning. I think sixpack is a better driver. haha. Nice Job.

Make sure and put the 16"ers back on.
How many miles are on your car? Still have the factory installed clutch as far as you know?
Also, I've read that on a stock car you drop a ~.3 powershifting (shifting without letting up on the gas). I've read that both on here and in magazine interviews with the pros. However, it's hard as hell on everything, so I could understand if you don't want to.
Good luck, man!

i finally got my 4.10 gears broke in and a moser preload diff cover. i am ready for the track this weekend! i ordered hooker ceramic coated LT's, prothane motor mounts, msd wires, ac delco iridium plugs for it, but i wont be able to start on them for a couple of weeks(wont have them before the track this weekend). after i put headers on i am going to have a buddy of mine(that works at an exhaust shop so it wont be ghetto!) make some true duals with an X-pipe that come out in front of the back wheels. i will try to get some pics and vids up if i can ever figure out how to do it. i'll keep u posted. later

here is some more info on my run:
60 FT---2.1307
330 FT---5.6657
1/8 ET---8.5009
1000 ET---10.9399
1000 MPH---100.51
1/4 ET---12.9763
1/4 MPH---111.08
i think i could have ran better but i did not launch off the line because i was on bald stock tires. i started off very slow then i hauled ***. it would break the back tires loose when i shifted into 2nd. my biggest problem was that i was gettin really bad wheel hop.

well guys, no time slips today. i was on my way to the dragstrip today when my driveshaft broke in half at about 120mph on the highway! it twisted in half right in the middle not at the u-joints. it bashed holes in all my floor pans and exhaust, tore off my e-brake cables, and bent my torque arm so bad that it pushed the torque arm through the driver side floor pan! my car is trashed. im pissed! this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least my trans and rearend are ok.

That sucks about your driveshaft man. I broke mine the first weekend I took the car to the track on a 6500 RPM launch. I got lucky though and it didn't tear anything up. I put a strange chromoly one I bought in the sales section. Denny's, strange, Jerry bickel.....any of those will be fine.
Might I ask how did you driveshaft break just driving down the road?

i was headed up to mo-kan dragway with some of my buddies. we came up on an open stretch of highway so we all took off. the weird thing was that it didnt break after a shift or during any kind of drivetrain shock. it broke half way through a gear. the rpm's were climbing then BOMB! the back half of the driveshaft almost hit the guy behind me in an 04' gto. the guy two cars behined me got it all on video.
