At least 114-116 mph. Something is simply not right with that trap speed

Your problem is not because you have a 6-speed. Think about it...you cut a 1.8 60ft which is not that bad for a street car

I also trap pretty low, but often times need to slow up from spinning because i don't have a real tire yet... my best to date is 12.5 at 112 on my street tires. You dynoed a decent amount higher than i did, but you definitely have more left in it with the 60 ft.

Yeah Hopefully with the th350 with a 3600 stall it will put me in 11s

That is VERY low for a cammed car. Something is wrong. I would make sure everything is ok and have the tune looked at. Car should easily be trapping 116+

It has nothing to do with the tire diameter! What rpm do you shift at? Are you a decent shifter?

6500 would be better, but I still think it's something else

What does it weigh with you in it? I've seen Trans Ams weigh over 3800lbs with normal sized driver if they don't have weight reduction or maybe have added things like an amp sub

How is your shifting? Lazy shifting will kill your times

Are you going by the stock tach? It can be off a large amount at WOT. A computer log that shows where you actually shift would be useful. You need to shift at least 6500rpm actual engine RPM I would think...where did it make peak HP on the dyno? Add several hundred RPMs to that. I doubt it peaks before 6200rpm.

Where are you getting that compression ratio? Stock ls1 is 10:1 and the stock ls6 heads would bump that to around 10.5:1, that is a long way from 11.9:1 (not that it matters as far as your track times)

Don't go to a taller tire, you don't need it. You would go slower with a 28" tire right now.
