Trying to get 7.0s (1/8)
My car is running 7.3 at 93mph with a 1.59 60ft in 1/8mile. Im looking to get to 7.0. Currently I have LQ4, LPP headers, 3in Y Pipe, cutout, LS6 intake, ported TB, ported 243 heads, 219/230 cam, yank 4000, built 4l60e, ram air kit, slp lid, tunnel mount torque arm and LCAs. Im wondering if a fast 90 or fast 102 may knock off a few tenths. Any ideas would help.

I've never had anything like this car before and I didn't know what to expect out of this build. I dont have that much in this car but I wanted to get out as cheap as possible. Which made me decide to run the stock LS3 springs that came with these heads and I got this cam cheap too. I was told I could run low 7s with this setup but I didn't realize that once I got here I would want more right now.
No real weight reduction other than sway bar. With the extra weight of the iron block I'm definitely more than stock. Runs were on half tank of gas.

Other than LCAs...the suspension is stock? Id try to get that 60ft down. Based on the video, the car appears to hook. Maybe some LCA relocation brackets and 50/50 rear drag shocks will help move you out a little quicker. A .10th at the 60ft is good for .20ths on the big end.

Ive seen it come real close with my car, its not exact but helps give folks an idea of the pickup with a better 60ft. Im talking mid-low 6sec 1/8th mi car. Faster you go, the less of a diff it will make to the overall ET.
If he can get that 60ft to mid-low 1.40s...that should get him where he wants to be.

You never mentioned anything about weight. I would put the car on a diet. Toss the back seats. Replace the the front bumper support with the one from mwc. I'm assuming you on a budget....
