11.5 @ 120....good start....needs improvement though. I've got a 98 Vette with the following mods :
A & A supercharger @ 8 psi
Ported Throttle Body
LS6 Intake
Texas Speed & Performance Long Tubes & Off Road mid pipes
Corsa Indy Pace Car Exhaust
FLT Level 5 4L60E
Yank 3200 stall
3:15 gears
MT Drag Radials 275/40/17
Best pass to date :
Gotta figure out how to get this thing to run a little quicker.

Your sixty should be 1.6 sec or less. With a higher stall your sixty should be 1.5 or lower. Have you experimented with flashing versus stalling the converter?

Hum, curious if this seems fast for your area. Over here on the rock, when one shows up at the local street races, 11.5 trapping 120, lets just say there's a crap load of street cars faster than that. If you show up with a mid 12 second car, you'll get beat many times thru the night, even the evo's and supras are faster than that. Roll and dig.

Lol.... Personally I think it's pretty fast. I guess the big boys are considered 10s and faster now days. What tires are you running? The 19" Mickey Thompson drag radial is a killer tire. Only problem is it is 27.5" tall. For slammed car like mi e, I would have to adjust my whole stance. I don't want to do that. Your car looks pretty low as well. I think you can get more out of the car, I'm trapping 120mph with just 415 rwhp 6 speed 3:42 gears. Keep up the good work. Nice car.

You can pick up a bit more E.T. by how you stage. Most people roll into the beams to fast. The best way to do it is to stage shallow. Creep into the first beam. Stop and compose yourself. Then creep in to when the second stage light just comes on. Plant the brakes. By doing this, you get a slight run at the beams before the front tire rolls out of the beam and the clock starts.

Hugger, just keeping it real, no way your car is 512 rear wheel hp with a 120 trap. I think the shop gave you a print out from a very happy dyno.
But hey, I"m sure it's fun to drive. Great street car.
