Nice times but you need to work on your 60's. With a built 383 you should have no problem running 1.5 60's and could get into the 1.4's with the right setup. You need to put some CE or QA1's if you can afford them rear shocks, airbag in the right rear spring or antiroll, remove front swaybar, new M/T drag radials and that should get you in the low 11's@120+mph. Goodluck later Clint

For suspension the car has:

QA1 12 ways on all four corners
air bag in the RR spring
Removed front sway bar
BMR adj tq Arm swet at -2.5
BMR transmission crossmember for tq arm relocation set three holes from the top with stock ride height

The tires probably are whats holding me back at the moment. Being 6-7 years old and having TONS of passes on them Im sure they're about wore out (even tho treads good)

FYI the car only dyno'd at 388rwhp 381rwtq unlocked on a dynojet...

Does your conveter leave better off idle or loaded?

I used to think off idle but at the LTX shootout I was trying different things and it sixty best with a load on it. Also I would not have your converter reflashed if your going to spray it, 3600 is a good size for spray and I would go 4000 + if your going to stay on motor.
