Back from the track - Advanced Induction 383 After a soggy start to the day (it down-poured when I was the next car in line, DOH!), I am pleased with the results. Never got any dyno-tuning done, so all runs are on a mail-order tune. Runs were at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, PA Conditions were hot and humid (85+ degrees, right after the rain), but the track prep was EXCELLENT!

11.51 @ 118, 1.57 60'
Couple minor bugs though. The trans was shifting into 3rd about 2000rpm early (sucky) and the car is a bit undergeared (3.90s), but I am overall pleased with the results. Once I get some tuning done and fix the trans issues I don't rule out an 11.2x. The 10s remain elusive for now.

Full weight street car, minus back seats, A/C, front swaybar. Haven't had it on the scales yet.
The orange turd in the right lane. **** was annoying as hell.
MPH should definitely be higher, but like I said I had shifting and tuning issues. I also sacrificed some top end when I had the converter built for a higher STR. It's through a 4L60E and a 9", and undergeared as well. I know I have some work to do.

Locking the converter on the big end?
Get some tuning and sort out the car before the cold weather. Don't forget that you are comparing your times to people who ran numbers in 40-60 degree weather.
I'd be pleased with that on the first run. Still plenty of room for improvement.

Joe,
Nice to see it is running decent all things considered.
With a refined tune & proper shift points it should manage 121-122 in the summer & ~124 in better air. I'd suspect low 11's will come with relative ease.
Take Care,

Thanks to all for the comments!
I'm sure you'll drop some time once you get the tune straightened out.
