btw....my 60ft was a 1.639

i agree.. 11's.. car will really wake up with converter.. surprised its doing so well.. look into maybe a slightly bigger cam as well.. 224 or so on a 114lsa.. shouldn't give up any driveability but would prolly run mid 11's with a full tune then

Yep...I ran my my time Absolute Full Weight with a VERY primative tune and the TC was locking up as soon as it shifted to 3rd. Never got another all-motor run in after fixing that. I'm guessing it would've went 11.70's or so. One thing I will tell you from experience. Before you really start getting into the internals, figure out whether you are going NA or FI. That would have saved me ALOT of money.
