Default 12.18 @ 114

I ran last thursday nite at test and tune on my 275 40-17 nexems. I managed a 1.86 60ft a 7.88@91 1/8th and a 12.18@114 in the quarter on a 100 shot long tubes, 4.10s and a tune. Anyone know of any suspension tricks other than removing the front sway bar. Im currently leaning on the nitrous about 20 feet out or just as soon as it squats on the tires. I tried M/T drag radials and spun way worse than my nexems, but it was like 90 degrees in the dark and the track was greasy. Do the short torque arms help plant the rear harder? I would just love to run some 11s on street tires on the stock motor. I got the 7s now i want some 11s lol. I think 3.73s would get me there because its got its tongue hanging out not far past the 1/8th with the 4.10s

There's no reason you should be spinning on MT DRs, as they are arguably the best DR on the market. Get your 60's down (play with pressure), add some gear, and you'll be OUT.

Default DR's

Run them 12-14 psi, heat em up good and launch it about 2800-3200 and spray it out the hole..............Let it EAT. Try a 390 gear also. I have no problem launching a termi on spray and a 2.6 kenny bell on DR's

Haha the thing will barely stall 1400 on the stock converter. I did air them down to 15psi roasted them good and spun to the 330 when i sprayed out the hole and ran a 12.70. The best 60 ive ever cut was on the street tires and it werent but a 1.80. But the dR werent but 255 50 16 and had about 30% left on them. I figured they still should have hooked up with no more power than im making.

It works better for me to stall it about a grand and flash it. It cuts a 1.91 on motor about everytime out and runs 13.0s off the tit. The converter is banjo string tight in this fella.

OP those MT's should have hooked up, you just had bad prep from what it sounds like.

That's weird, even being a 255 I would think they'd hook better than some 275 street tires. Also I'd definately go with the 3.73's, you must be crossing the line right at the limiter with your 4.10's huh?

the tack says 6100 on motor and 6600 on spray, but its doubtful that the stock tack is accurate. It definitly sounds like its turning everybit of what the tack reads. These motors with stock heads and cam just dont have enough upstairs for that kind of RPM. Mine really starts to lay over around 6300. My biggest traction issue with the 4.10 is the 1-2 shift. I can get out with barely any tire spin until it shifts to second, then it spins atleast 50 feet or so.

I always ran 3.42's in the stock 10bolt, ran low 10's also so I think your 4.10's are too low with a short tire. Try running those drag radials at 18-19psi and do a good burnout. When the track is not prepped good it's hard to leave on n2o with any tire so you need to try different pressure, launch rpm, n2o activation etc to get good 60's. You could also run some 28" tires and I bet you would hookup and make you have less gear but your 10boilt probably won't like it. Good luck later

i did a few things tonite that might help above 6000. I loosened the preload on the lifters to less than 1/4 of a turn so if im getting valvetrain slop it wont hold the valves open as far. I put my underdrive pulley back on which is to much IMO but shoud keep from whizzing the acceseries so hard, and pulled the plate out of my borla. Lol a grand total of 2 HP with my luck. Every little bit counts tho.

Anything helps. These guys telling you to spray it out of the hole arent thinking of being nice to your 10 bolt. That sounds like some super ET for a bone stock car with gears and 100 shot. What kinda DA are you running in? I would hope my car can run anywhere near that good on a 100 shot.

And itd be nice to know what your tuner did for that lol. I guess its not a huge huge gain for 100 shot and 4.10s but 2 seconds off stock and a pretty big mph jump is pretty impressive.

I dont rightly know what the DA is around here. Im only about 70 miles from the coast so on a good night the air is excellent, which makes a huge difference on my car. But Im nots so worried about breaking the 10 bolt by spraying out the gate, its an auto so it should take it, if not a got an extra. But as far as the tune he added some fuel and left the timing at 36 degrees, made the car to lazy when he pulled the 3 degrees for the N20, so i told him to put it back. 100 dont really need much less timing. Its also just a dry shot before the MAF.

all you need is a good converter and 3.73's and you'll def. be in the 11's. my car went 11.67 when it was a bolton car on a 150 shot. also with a cpt race 4l60 and a 12 bolt. learned the hard way that the stock trans and 10 bolt don't like a 100 shot hit right out of the gate
