Default First time out with new car and set up

Went to the 1/4 mile track this Friday I was hoping for a better time and mph n/a but it was hot as hell out so that mite be part of it
Setup consist of
98 Ss ttop a4 front sway bar and a/c delete are the only weight reduction not sure what it weighs with me I guess 3500
It's a aluminum 6.0 with forged pistons and rods stock crank
Patriot 5.3 heads cr 11.2:1
Lsr 231/239 cam
Ls6 intake
Open tsp y pipe for exhaust
Stock 10bolt 3.73s
Performabuilt 4l60
Fti3800 stall shifts at about 6200
Racetronix kit
Nos plate with 150 shot 65n 38f jets
3 point subframe connectors
Bmr torque arm
Viking da shocks front and back 300lbs springs
Pro stars with 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson drag radials at 14psi
First pass spun bad n/a
Rt .031
60ft 2.2
1/8 8.8 90mph
1/4 13.1@116
Second pass n/a
Rt .118
60ft 1.63
1/8 7.32@93.4
1/4 11.51@117.26
Third and last pass turned on the juice bottle pressure about 950
Rt .424
60ft 1.44
1/8 6.52@105
1/4 10.26@131
Temps that night were in the 91-92 degrees


The track was packed so I only got two good runs in I thought I was gonna trap at least 120 n/a but guess I need to dyno tune it maybe bring up the shifts to 6500-6700 what do you guys think?

Not bad at all, but yes a shift point of 6600-6700 would be much better

I've only street tuned the car and don't know what this cam makes power to I don't know how much power in putting down either any similar set ups out there? I know it can only go faster once I start tuning the suspension.
But my last car hardtop formula was a stock bottom ls1 with the same heads and 228r cam and ran 7.1@95mph but it also only weight 3300 with me in it thinking I mite need to pull out the leather seats and start some weight reduction

Trust me your setup will do much better shifting 6500-6700 over the current 6200. Your setup probably peaks around 6200-6300

Anyone got any suggestions on the weight reduction or setup to get me in the 9s I was thinking of doing a ssra and putting in a light weight carpet maybe even taking off the back bumper support

I wonder how much I can pick up with a ram air setup and a fast intake.
Does my n/a mph seem low for a head cam 6.0?

Hell I bet a anti roll bar would pick you up another couple tents alone. You should be low 1.3x 60ft. Also wouldn't be leaving crooked like that.

But yeah I would imagine about 93-95mph in a full weight car is where you should be.

Arb and a 28" tire would help. Car runs strong.
