From: Gainesville, Florida # of drag strips runs: ?!?!?
Bummer about the broken parts, but at least she shows potential, and great 60 foot for street tires on a M6. Put a T/A girdle on the rear end, that will help you somewhat.

WTF!!!!! I trap, and run dang near the same time as you, and I know you should have alot more horsepower. What is the altitude of the track that you are running at? You might wanna check the density altitude for that day (If it was 100 degrees outside you better bet that you were short some ponies). If you put up your dyno graph mayhaps we can help you figure out where the problem lies. A heads/cam car making over 370whp should definitely be trapping in the 111+mph range.

Slow00ls1T/a - what kind of #'s did your car put down at NLP? I ran 12.20's last summer at mid 111 MPH, dyno'd 329/341 the following day @ NLP.
With 4.10's, I wouldn't think you'd have problems with it bogging. Something isn't right, and the trap speed is way low.
are you kidding me? Heads, Cam and tuned and its only going +1mph faster than before? Wow, if I were you heads would be rolling off shoulders. I'm going 11mph faster than that with just a cam and boltons

It was about 80 degrees when i ran it this time
the last time i went out on street tires b4 the DR and 4.10s it went 13.4 at 111 with a 2.3 60

I'm not a fan of aluminum flywheels for drag racing, I prefer a steel flywheel. The extra weight actually helps get you off the line. But, with 4.10's... it shouldn't be a problem.
All I can figure now is the obvious soft launch and maybe you aren't shifting it high enough. :shrug:
