Default I need help!

Hey guys this is my first post on ls1tech so please be gentle...I have a 98 trans am m6 with a procharger and other bolt ons, I'm not sure if this is normal, I dynoed 446/420 through a moser 12bolt w/4:11 and nitto 315/35/17. At the track, I only have a 1/8 mile track to go to, but the best I can do so far is a 7.82 at 91.9 w/1.87 60 ft. I know my 60ft sucks but I have bad wheel hop if I push it any harder even with a adj. tq arm at -3deg. and adj. lca's . So basicly what I need to know is, Is my speed slow? it seams slow to me, also what else can I do for my wheel hop? thanks everybody...by the way I ran 18-20psi in the nittos and I shift around 6200 .thanks

MPH seems low to me also. I would call 1 of the many sponsors to the right for advise on your procharger set up.

I called a few, I may have some belt slip, It feels like it is pulling hard all the way though. My boost gauge hasn't been hooked up yet. I just got the charger finished a few weeks ago and have not had time yet. When I got it tuned they tightend the belt for me, I had some sliping then, and was only getting 7 psi after they fixed it (it was still breaking in I only had a 200 miles on it at the time, now I have about 800.) I'm still not sure what to do about the wheel hop. any ideas?
