99 Trans Am Cam Ran this my first run last night. Just bought the car a week ago. Only got to run twice but my second run was horrible I spun all the way through first. I tried to foot brake it at the line and it didn't like that.
R/T .346
60 1.752
330 5.176
1/8 8.030
MPH 84.00
1000 10.498
1/4 12.625
MPH 108
I ran this on BFG drag radials with 40lbs in them. I forgot my gauge and didnt lower them to 20 like I planned. Also.... on this run above I had to run on the tree that goes the second you stage. Not sure why. But it suprised me as I was waiting for the guy to stage next to me. So I launched off idle fairly easy and let off a bit after the 60 ft because I wasnt sure if I was supposed to go. I only let off for a split second.
I'm not very happy. I probably will run it again very soon. I think I can get my 60 ft down and if I keep on it I say itll run 12.3 or so. Through the stock intake/tb and a mail order tune the car is probably giving up a good amount of trap speed.
What you guys think?

I think there is a lot left on the table. What are your goals? If it were my car, I'd get a tune ASAP. There are many competent tuners on the east coast.

That car is a beast being held back by the mac mids, cats, ls1 intake, and the mail order tune (<--maybe). Not to mention they're MAC cats, which some say flow worse than stock.
If I still had this car and wanted to get some goodies... Ported TB, LS6 Intake, longtubes, an ORY, and a dead-on dyno tune. Or, save up some money and throw some 243's on there and do everything at once. Car would be a whole new animal

the midlength headers aren't holding him back much, if any.
everything else you said i agree with. the tune and intake are undoubtably holding the car back. my lid/muffler m6 car traps more than that.
for comparison my bolt-on a4 car went low 12s @ 110+. 3650rw and 2500' da.
