01WS6TA. Looks like you have almost same suspension that I have except the kmember and a arms- to include the TH-400 - I am running 4.30, with now 30x9. You are running the same 28x10.5 I was, but with the 4.30 I was running out of gear. The Goodyears should solve that problem. Do you run at HRP? That track kicks some major ***. Up here the best air we get is +2000 DA. Good luck. Great times 
Malicious: Not this year. Maybe next year. The mod's that I have done this year alone has drained the old bank book. Not this, but next winter I have an entirely different set-up.
Eric, I agree, I surrender. 9.6 is not going to happen with the SS in its present form. I'd have to drop 300-400 lbs to get even close, and than travel to a place with minus DA. Eric I wish I could really tuck the 30x9 inside the fenders. I have Convo Pros which have 5" B/S. They don't stick out, but they don't tuck. My 12-bolt has been narrowed 1.5" on each side. I need to find a set of wheels with 6 or 6.5" B/S and than drop the SS' ***-end down 3-4" - about the only thing I have refused to do is grind the **** out of the calipers. Talking about a "rake" job. I'll have to take a picture one of these days. Look more like a "funny" car than a door-slammer.
Well to anyone that it going to try to get to the 9.6 record, good luck. The bar has been set very high (or well low).

9.6@134 w/a "222/222 .566/.566 112 cam" and people call cams that size "Baby cams" ... 
I think next time the "baby cam" comments pop I'll start referring people to this thread.
IconAutoSports=Very impressive!

You're are doing 250 shot - wow. Is that on a progressive controller, or right out of the hole?.. No matter what, that is going to be hard to beat without the engine going 
Weight 3281 with or without driver? The SS is 3285 without me, 3515 with me.
With the new 421 (and the friendly bottle) have you made any passes? If you ran 9.6 on stock bottom end, it should be a killer set-up now.
Hey Eric: he's touched his stock block - the field is wide open for you now
Unless I get the 2 stage set up the 9.6 just isn't going to happen with my SS.
Congrats.
I see you forgot the best mod of them all: HRP in February - wonder what the DA was ? minus a couple thousand feet

I gotta believe with those short times the 250 blast is out of the hole and hold on. As far as the cam, I think I remember Big Mike running something most would consider a small cam on his 346 (224?).
I can if & wish all day about my motor holding together with a bigger shot and that number still sounds out of reach. Heck, I just need to work on trying to catch 01WS6TA!!!! Well I ordered my 4.30 gears today and they should be here by the end of the week. After that install, I'm guessing I'll need to have the converter tightened up. This is how I plan on keeping the motor running longer, lot's of down time! Now if us in Florida can keep the rain and hurricanes away...
