Default 200lbs out of the car and no faster

well i took a ton of **** out of the car over the past 2 weeks after i went 11.89 spinning (1.70 60') so i go to the track tonight and apparently my stock shocks allowing me to spin (switched to strange 12 way adjustables today) was keeping the RPMs up and making me go as fast as i was because i did. did a nice smokey burnout, brought it up to 6k, dropped the clutch, and almost stalled.... lol 3.73s with 27" tires FTL, guess ill order my 4.30s tomorrow. i did manage to not do a burnout so they would spin a get an 11.84 which is a new PB but not really worth mentioning with all of the weight i took out lol. oh well i guess its time to throw more money at it

It was +350 DA for the 11.89 and +600 lastnight so that's about a tenth off (.1 for every 500 DA was average for my old LT1)

Oh but on the plus side the strange 12 ways made a world of difference. The only way to not dead hook was to not do a burnout and I still cut a 1.71
