Wassah. I think your car should leave harder, it's a bit of a puss on motor. Have you messed with shift points on motor, I'd expect you to run more mph than that. What is your raceweight on motor?

I went 11.0 NA with 450rwhp @ 3500 raceweight. Our Pinks Camaro has gone 11.3 on motor on a crappy 1.60, hoping to crack a 10.99 in it on motor this year. on a 100 shot dry it's gone mid to low 10's.

Well the coverters a nitrous converter and the stall is like 2800ish,whick is why i want to go to a bigger stall.Racewieght on all runs is 36-3700lbs,working on taking some wieght out.Also it is a RMVB TH400 shift every gear at 6500.I figured the car would at least go 12.0 on motor and 11.0 on spray.That's why i'm trying to make some changes.I would like to get the car to 10.7-10.90's

The gear change should help out, but she may be a bit more touchy on traction as it should leave the line harder. Keep us updated!

I'd run like a 4000 (on nitrous) stall or more.

That converter is WAY too small, especially for a TH400. I would go with a minimum of 4000 like John said, but more like a 4500-4800 would be optimum.
