Guys I need some help with my 95 lt1 street/strip car. Last year the car was running 11.5 at 116-117. This year after removing roughly 100lbs of weight the car runs 11.5 at 115-116
.
One problem I know I have is that the car is shifting into overdrive 200ft before the end of the quarter (redlines).
The car is a stock bottom end lt1 with ported stock heads, 503 cam, 3200 vig, 3.73s with drag radials. The redline is currently set at 6400 and shift points are set at 6200, I need to raise the shift points inorder to run the whole 1/4 im wondering if I might see an ET gain from this?
Is there anything else I can do other than nos to gain something or anything?

what size tires are you using? if you are running 26s you might try a 28 inch tire. otherwise bump up the shift points a little. is it going into OD or is the converter locking up? you shouldnt be running out of gear with 3.73s. nitrous will only make the problem worse i would imagine.
