Shittos suck. Ditch those drag radials and get some bfg's or mickey thompsons. Honestly though, my bet is that you didn't have the car tuned once you got the long tubes, and that is most likely why you didn't pick up any mph. Get the car tuned, and then see what it runs.

i got the nittos just to try to protect my 10 bolt. i was considering the mickey thompsons but i heard they grip really hard.
i think im gona have to give the shop by me a call and get tuned...so much money...

I ran 13.1s consistantly when I had my stock stall and stock 2.73s on street tires. With Yank stall and 3.42s added I ran 12.6 @ 107.2 MPH on street tires. My 60' was 1.8.

Ehh, try not to worry too much about it. Some members haven't blown up a 10 bolt yet (Myself included). Around your power level, and being an automatic, it is highly unlikely to blow up.

Verdad Gallardo You won't even need the mickey thompsons, cause your stock stall converter won't allow you to leave the line at over 1500rpms. Just pick up some BFG's off of ebay.
Also do a search on the 10 bolts within the parts for sale column. Purchase one to cover for your paranoia

Mail order tunes are a joke. They are also about as expensive as a dyno tune. Around here you can get a dyno tune for $350 (If you don't have a cam that is, just bolt ons). Mail order tunes are typically over $250, and they aren't as solid as a dyno tune.
i disagree

Madtuner = $175
Both tuners have had thousands of customers with very successful results.
Mine flashes to 4200 rpm.. but thats a Vig 3600 and 2.73's.. seriously you won't break the rearend with a stock stall thats for sure. Even if it flashed to 2K it wont leave anywhere near hard enough to stress the rearend at all. I've run 12.6x's in mine with 1.7 60's on MT radials and MT ET streets. I actually want mine to break just to give myself an excuse to put a 12 bolt in there with a 3.73 but it won't!
the disturbing part about your times though is you have LT's and have the same mph as a manifold car like mine. What gear is in the rearend? Is the trans shifting good? Its not bouncing off the limiter on the shifts is it? Are you leaving it in OD and running it? do you drive the car much? some cars need drive time for the PCM to adjust to the headers or It may just need a tune.

3.23s in the rearend, shifting great, no bouncing, putting it into Drive and its my daily driver

People have done bolt-ons thousands of times. The tune is going to be the same every time. That's why you can do mail order tuning.
Get a mail order tune.
