new update.i have made about 6passes total and only two were decent on the 60'.other 4 passes completely blew the tires off on initial take off.
so 1 of these 4 are my problems as i should hook easy since im probly making 320hp at the wheels and its a stock stall.
1.car is to lite in the ***
2.drag radials are old and hard
3.struts are worn and not letting car transfer weight
4.i have no idea what im​​​​​​ doing

i opted for #3 and bought new struts.after i removed my old struts i compressed them and they basically have no rebound.these are definitely going to make a difference.

11.20@129
stock longblock,stock 60e,stock convertor, stock ls3 manofolds.on this pass it did shift into o.d.so it looks like a taller tire is needed or a 3.55 gear
