Only got in two test pulls (track crowded and break/oil downs). Time slips attached.
Needs less fuel jet and more timing and she'll be in the 9's on the .62 pill.
Only slowed down a few tenths on motor.
Oh and converter is borderline too loose.

HyGard did nothing...Needs a new converter. She flashes straight to 6000 on the hit and blows the tires and the 60' is .3 off. Should be in the 1.3x range. Still traps 131mph so 9's are there just needs a little more $$ thrown at her.

What did you have to do to get the 15x10s on the back with the stock rear? I have a lq4 ta I'm looking at doing 243s or an ls3 top end. Do you think with a 243you would be around the same with the little bit more compression. Seeing this build gives me high hopes

I cut off the bump stops. They cleared fine with the 10 bolt and now the S60. The cathedral vs. rectangular argument continues....If it's not an all out drag car, I think some ported 243's would make more power most everywhere. I went LS3's because I already had them and a cam for the rectangular ports. GL with yours.
Sadly the argument is still going. You are just one of the first I have found that has a combo extremely close to what I am doing mince why I asked
Did you roll the rears as well?

It's the tire size and rim offset that start to cause clearance issues. Just make sure you get the "F-body fitment" ones. My tires are 275/50-15 (26") so plenty of room. A 275/60-15 (28") should still clear without rolling.
