New best 1/8 mile Basic LT1 with a few bolt-ons.
Just switched from the Nitto 555r tires that I didn't have any luck with, to a set of Mickey Thompson drag radials. What a difference those made! I picked up over a tenth of a second. Felt great at the launch!
60- 1.755
330- 5.292
1/8- 8.305 @ 82.90
My previous best was 8.42.

Thanks man.
I am pretty happy. I was able to pick up almost a full second at the 1/8 mile over my previous best from last year when the car was stock.
Going from a 2.10 60' to a 1.75 60' feels pretty good.

same here, last year my car went a best of a 2.06 60ft and a couple days ago I went a 1.75 and 1.79 60ft. It feels awesome. I have been 1.75 60ft of 245/50 555r's but you have to boil them in the burnout box, when its time for new tires I will be doing the same and going to an et street
