I suspect you will pick up at least a couple mph leaving on the transbrake. My 3700 lb race weight Cobra (480 rwhp) used to go 94-95 in the 1/8th and then 118-120 in the 1/4 at Moroso. Foot pedaling it I think you are leaving a good amount on the table, but you already know that.
My stocker 90 hatch was 3040 lbs with me in it on Moroso's scales, so your SN95 is real light. That's awesome.
I'm guessing you're around 400 rwhp when you put it on the dyno?
Good luck!

Can't get much lighter without cutting on the car, removing glass or going on a diet. It will be getting a cage next summer.
The online dynos agree with you but I think it will be closer to 350RWHP. I'm going to see if I can it on the dyno here in the next couple of weeks.

I improved a little bit more today by using the transbrake and got down to an 11.58 @ 117.39 with a 1.66 60' leaving at 3500 RPM. I tried a little higher and went 1.65 but slowed a little. DA was close to 1000' compared to nearly 0' on Wednesday. I'll try leaving higher next time out but need to take care of a couple of things first.

It's an FTI converter they made based on my combo. Looks to be stalling at 4400 on motor. I'm going to see how it does on spray before deciding on getting it restalled.

No it's not much shorter but I think it's short enough for most. Obviously if you can get an LS1 oil pan that will give the most clearance. Mine sits about as low as my headers and transmission pan. I live off a dirt road and haven't had any problems with clearance yet.

About 3 weeks from now. The local track has events the next 2 weeks then we have a track rental on the 1st. I need to finish a few things on the nitrous set up and make some changes to the tune.
