Default Good...Bad? Your input....

Went to the dragstrip last weekend...finally got a timeslip that showed more than 1/4 ET and MPH.

Here are my bests:
r/t: .020
60': 1.75
1/8 et: 7.88
1/8 mph: 87.65
1/4 et: 12.34
1/4 mph: 110.66

The car now traps 110 consistently....110.41, 110.47, 110.66, 110.52.

Suspension Mods: V6 springs, bmr lca brackets.
Engine Mods: TR224, LS6 Intake, Jet Hot headers/ORY, lid/filter.
Trans Mods: MW3500 2.0, cooler, TransGo shift kit, deep pan.


Other than that, the raceweight with me is 3680. I run 17.5-18 psi cold in the Nitto DRs....17" ZR1s all the way around....car is untuned.

So, does this look good or bad? I am thinking my next step is the BMR relocated torque arm tied into SLP subframe connectors. QA1s out back...relocated battery.

Opinions.....

Good time, but MPH seems a bit off for that cam. Im on the stock cam and am trapping 112 consistantly and a best of 113.66.

do you happen to know what the density altitude was? also what gear do you have? and is this with a stock catback?

other than that, get the car tuned and get the shift points up to where they need to be and you might have a good runner for you weight.

The DA was ~1,000ft....the baro was 30.07" and it was ~60° out. It has 3.73s and the optional SLP Dual/Dual which flows well from what I have read.

The other thing I forgot to mention is the shift points. I have a Diablo Programmer which I bought to compensate for the gears. I have raised the limiter to 6600, and when I had the shift points at 63-6400, it would just bump the limiter. So when I get it tuned, I want the shifts at 64-6600 and the limiter at ~6800 (with new springs and hardened pushrods). Right now it shifts at 6150...booo, I know...

Thanks for the replies so far.

not bad at all, might have a little more left in it if you get the shift points a little higher to take advantage of the cam. Weight reduction is also a possible consideration. Otherwise, good runs!
