First time out!!!
First time out!!! This was my first time out any dragstrip with my car. It was down at the Atlanta Dragway. Full weight 02 Trans Am WS6, mods to the car in sig with the addition of a Fab 9 with 3.70 gears and 100hp shot of Nitrous. I was running on Yokahoma S Drive tires.
1st time out. Tires @ full pressure.
R/T: .724
60': 1.993
330: 5.586
1/8: 8.832
MPH: 90.13
1000: 10.682
1/4: 12.568
MPH: 119.86
2nd time out. Tires @ 25psi
R/T: .744
60': 2.140
330: 5.537
1/8: 8.139
MPH: 95.55
1000: 10.344
1/4: 12.191
MPH: 121.84
I couldn't hook worth a crap on these tires. So I know my M/T's will help out. I was running about 950psi or slightly less bottle pressure.
And lastly, I'm redlining like 200ft before the 1/4 in 3rd gear and it wouldn't shift into 4th until I let up. So I'm not sure if my tune is spot on yet.
What do you guys think?

Congrats on the times, but you know there's plenty left. I didn't see a converter swap in your mod list, that should be next on the list right after sticky mickeys!

I've got both. I drove from IL on the Bandit Run and it ended in Atlanta, GA. Sticky Mickeys would have landed me in the ditch with the rain I encountered. I've got an SS3600 from Yank sitting in the bedroom. Just waiting on my new trans.

Not bad at all on street tires. Throw the MTs on and you'll be running DEEP in the 11s and will probably see your trap go up a bit. Sounds like a strong runner you have. Still on the 10-bolt?
