If you can drive, have it completely tuned properly, without blowing your "4.10s in an 02 SS 10 bolt" but have MT ET streets, and get the race weight down to a normal 3300, you should be around 11.3. There is something definately wrong with your car, if my boltons only car traps higher than you. You said you get 1.6 60s, you are WAY down on power. Are you shifting at like 4500 rpm or something? You need to spin that cam to at least 6700.

Heres a stupid question, did your tuner pull like 6 degrees of timing on the tune expecting you to spray it with a 150 shot?

Get a dyno tune and **** can those 4.10s. Put 3.73's in it and run a 26" tire. You should be into the 11's.

When my car was just intake exhaust I did those times, with a 0.2 second worse 60'. Its not your weight, you have mechanical problems. Something is WRONG with your car, either its pulling timing because of a false knock, or something else. You should have between 380-400rwhp, but your times are the same as Camaroracing12's, and he has 273rwhp. You are litterally down 100rwhp. Dont worry about weight, fix your car.

Holy ***** man no. That crap is the biggest scam of all time, it adds like 0.01 pt to your octane rating, so instead of 93 you how have 93.01. That is NOT YOUR PROBLEM. STOP TRYING TO BANDAID IT!!!! You should be able to run 11s on 91 octane with your setup, unless you are at 9000 DA

Do a search around on this or ls1lt1, someone somewhere found them for like $45, or search the classifieds for a used one.

I'm gonna guess the heads are not helping so you have a cam only car that needs a better tune.
