Little bit disappointed.
Well I got my car to the track finally. First time to make a full 1/4 pass..
Mods:
370 (9:1 comp.)
TEA stg 2 LS6 heads
Ls6 intake
232/240 EPP cam
FMIC
3:73 12 bolt
The car made 683rwhp @11psi D1SC
Race weight is 3650
Im glad I finally got a clean pass out of it, but Im still not happy. The car went sideways pretty good all the way through 1st. I think the car should run a lot quicker. What do you guys think?
60' 1.77
330 4.84
1/8 7.33
mph 102.13
1000 9.47
1/4 11.22

Your 60ft. is weak, work on that traction issue, 130 mph trap is good for a VERY low 10, if not a 9.99, so don't be too disapointed, alittle spin will give you a tad more mph, but in your case gaining as much as 28 in the last 660, you spun pretty bad in the 1st. half, so you lost mph, plus your 60fts should be in the 1.4s with that HP, get some traction & you'll be in the low 10s easy.

This is a 6 speed car too. Didnt mention that. Yeah I think it has a mid 10 in it. Just got to get it to hook. I have LCAs, SFCs, PHB, UMI T/A. I need a rear drag sway bar BAD. My friends said it was twisting pretty good off the line.. Also need some coilovers because I am running lowering springs and bilsteins in the front (which is probably limiting my shock travel big time). I was using 325/50/15 MT ET Radials. I think I am going to try a slick or ET street.

I would not be disappointed by any means! Get the car to 60 foot which the slicks will give you that and the 10 second time zone is yours.
Good Luck!!

Definitely need to go with a rear sway bar. Take a look at BMR's Xtreme Sway Bar. That will help you launch straight and plant those tires by eliminating body roll. The radials should mph better if you can get the suspension dialed in and get them to hook. The slicks are a little more forgiving if your suspension is not completely dialed in. Good luck and keep us posted.

As mentioned, a slick and some more seat time should net you mid tens. Radials can be very touchy on sticks since the sidewall doesn't "give" like slicks will to allow the shock when you drop/ride the clutch on launch.
Good luck, sounds like a good ride!
