Went back to run 12.765@109 1.99 60' track was still kinda cold, couldnt really stuff it. 
First run with car...
First run with car... Ran the car 1st time today, the track was cold and wet. 40 degrees and was misting/drissling on and off all day untill they pulled the plug. Got 2 runs in at least. For the 2 runs the tires were set to 25psi did a healthy 2nd gear burnout. It just smoked right threw 1st and 2nd I didnt even stuff it either. It wasnt the tires either, everyone was having traction issues. Time slip looked like this.
60' 2.260
1/8 8.638
MPH 87.1
1/4 13.180
MPH 107.97
2nd run I forgot to put it from 2nd into drive after the burnout, it hit the limiter until I bumped it up into drive.
60' 2.447
1/4 13.560
MPH 107.51
In between the rain delays I figured I would go and top off the tank (had 1/4) and drop the pressure's to 20psi for some added traction but never got the chance to try it. So with traction and the 60' at 1.90 what do you think my times should be? Next time I goto the track the stall will be in, I just wanted to get a base line.

I think 1.90 are doable, people get that on street tires. In nice weather these tires dead hook on the street and the car has real good weight transfer from weight reduction, !swaybar etc.. And the driver mod was down, the track and the weather just sucked... I would of had better luck running studded snow tires.

Verdad Gallardo I know how fun that is. Keep after it. You'll have it in the 10's in a couple years.
My guess with verter is...
1.78 60ft
12.3X
112
Those are the times im hoping for....im looking for some different tires maybe some BFG drag t/a. Dont know about 10's, going to try to keep this a bolt on car only. High 11's with bolt ons is my goal, (if possable?). I have a Underdrive pulley that will be going on also.
The stall is in...all I can say is wow! Night and day difference the thing rips right out of the hole now. I dont think it needs a tune either, it locks right up at 40-45 mph and doesnt hit the limiter on up shifts. This is my first stalled car, so im still tring to wipe the smile off my face. 
Going to run it Friday for some new times.

I was goona say 12.80s as well, as we have similar mods. Mine went 12.91 at 108.4 with a 2.00 60 foot on stickies with the stock converter and 3.23 gears. I know the converter swap kicks them out of a dead 
I was just driving around some more. I bet its good for atleast .5 from my old times. It shifts at 6100 and only drops down to 5100. Do you guys think my trap speeds will go up also? 
Thank you unstang for hooking me up!

I put a asp pulley on the other day and now for some reason its hitting the limiter on the 2-3. Im still going to run it Friday for a couple runs only. Then im going to send the pcm back out. Hitting the limiter might slow the times down by a .1 though.

Back from the track...the best 60' I could get out of the crapittos with the new stall is a 1.80, thats launching at 1500rpm's and slowly rolling into the gas. Any other method, stabbing from idle, higher brake stall, they would go up in smoke. With a better tire and a tune for the stall (limiter on 2-3) im sure 12.2s would be possable.
60' 1.80
1/8 7.97
mph 87.50
1/4 12.45
mph 109
On one run I got matched up with a new Shelby GT500 that was running
12.4s with M&H DR's. But of course I got all excited and the tires went up in smoke...
