Sounds perfect to me. Those are some dam good numbers for an LT1 with only 6lbs. Those numbers should be good for high tens if your transmission and rear are up to it.

Let me put it this way. I'm having the EXACT same problem. My car would not 60' properly because of the front suspension sitting way too low. Also I cannot slam 2-3 or 3-4 because the T-56 synchros are worn out. The best I could do was 11.37 @ 124.8 and that is WITH the problems. I started out with 12.49 @ 122 with a 2.2 60', but at least now I learned out to fight through the worn-out gears to an 11-second pass.
I have since fixed the front suspension with better springs, and I ordered a Turbo 400 with a trans-brake to "fix" the transmission issue.
Once you work out your bugs, you'll be in the low elevens if not high tens, once you change that 2.6 60' to a 1.50 60', and you resolve the shifting problem.

120mph for your setup sounds pretty decent, keep us posted as to what it makes with more boost.

This section is LT1 friendly since there is a lot of commonality to the parts.

Yeah, we’re not allowed because we’re too slow.

Any plans on upgrading the intercooler. I would think the 2-core’s efficiency would be borderline w/ the power your making. I ran similar times (12.4x @ 117) w/ my old P600B Procharger w/ 3-core. Every now and then, I wish I hadn’t sold the ATI, but one look at the turbos changes that.
