Should i be faster
Should i be faster Let me start by saying the car runs and drives great, feels fast, but i am not satisfied.
99 convertible-already heavy
added weight-6pt racecraft cage and nitrous wet kit, line lock. I weigh 270lbs
removed weight-front swaybar and brackets,bumper support bracket and foam,abs delete,air and egr delete, no spare tire or jack.
drivetrain-3600 stall,transbraked 4l60e, alum 3.5in driveshaft, stock 10 bolt with 3.73
wheels and tires-dragliet front runners, 26in et steets on stock 16x8 twisties. rims spin in tires 3in on right wheel and at least and inch on driver
suspension-qa1's with 325lb springs, no sway bar up front, strut tower brace stock rear springs with qa1's, tunnel mounted eldelbrock tq arm
power upgrades-stock 851 heads, 232/236 600/600 on 112, crane springs, hardened push rods, single roller timing chain, 85mm tb on ported weiand manifold, stock 851 heads, pacesetters ory and e cut out. HSW 150 shot wet. When i spray i get valve float top of third right before i cross the 1/4mi.
I understand this is a heavy car, heatsoaked after an hr drive unlocked stall but down a weak 351 hp on mustang dyno and 33x tq. when i sprayed it down shifted on the dyno and spun the tires. 498 tq at 3800rpm then wheel spin.
i run 12.6 off the bottle and 11.2 on the bottle with t brake at 119mph, i honestly let off before the end of the qtr on my 11.2 run because of bad valve float. i normally run 11.6 with out t brake at 123
sorry for such a long post, help me out looking for insight and honest opinions

dead hooks at 14psi in the tires, if you need any more info let me know. i just feel with a 150 shot i should be faster. it was 90 deg when i ran the car. everyone i ran with dropped 4tenths the last time at the track when it was 50 deg out
what is your race weight? My buddies car ran 11.2 @ 120 cam only at around 3400 lbs race weight and a 10.34 @ 128 on a 150 shot so yes i think your car should be a little faster. I would look for a set of drag lights for the rear and go with a little bigger tire. like a 27x11.50 qtp. The other thing i would look at is the stall. Buy a GOOD 3800-4000 stall and try leaving on the gas if you can. Just a few things i would look at if it were mine. Oh my buddies car had a t-rex and a th-350 .

umm i have a vig 3600 and a transbrake. i leave on spray. no idea what race weight is. i do have draglites in the front, and my rears have 28x11.50 screwd to the wheel and tubed. they would explode my rear end though
