Default kinda dissapointed

i have a H/C bolton car(f13 cam, stage 2.5 PRC 5.3 heads) 3500 stall, 3.73 gears, headers ETC..... ran at huntsville 1/8th mile. temp was probley 70 deg. my best pass was 7.78 @ 90.25 with a 1.81 60' it was my first time at the track ever, car ran very consistant. do you guys think im about right for my mods? i need the driver mod of course, but i guess those times are ok seeing as it was put together in my back yard, has a mail order tune and the stock ls1 intake. im thinking ls6 intake, dyno tune, and some suspension work to get that 60 down to 1.6xx ill get 7.4's what do you guys think?

you need a good dyno tune and yes, ditch the ls1 intake.

YA you need a real tune. I'll guess and say you will prob gain 2 tenths from a real tune. Prob tenth to 2 tenths with the LS6 intake and then you will prob be sitting around 7.3-.4s..

Plenty left in the combo. Traction, an intake swap and a tune will get you closer to roll bar territory..

Work on your launch. Hold at like 3000 rpm and feather the clutch out, if you loose traction, it hurts your time bad. I mean my first time I ran a 15, then I cut it down to a 13 just by feathering the clutch a lil

I dont hear anything from them..they dont try to talk crap around me because
1) none of them will EVER have anything in the same ballpark as me
2) they know I'll beat their eyes shut!!
if the ol'camaro want revenge I can set it up..they cant have much to say anyway they had 175shot and you were on motor and only got you by .06 and 2mph less than you

Get your sixties down a bunch. You need some nice drag radials at least.

My little lt1 car did 1.9x on stock longblock, full weight, less gear, stock converter and street tires in 4200 DA with more heat. Every tenth you lose off of your 60 is 2 tenths on the big end as a rule of thumb.

You never said your rear.. is it a 10 bolt? If so invest in a 9'' and slicks.

Oh and about your mustang rival..a motor car that keeps up with a nitrous car like that will get a lot more respect.
