Default 150 To 200 shot...minimal gain help???

Recently I went from a 150 shot running 11.4 @120 to a 200 shot and can only best a 11.31 @ 121. My 60's are all over the map from 1.57-1.89. I am trying to break the 10's with the 200 but now I sure somethig is not quite right. I am running at staggering 3,700lbs, so I know that isnt helping. On the 150 I was running running at 29* WOT (pulling 6* from 35), and pulling 9* on the 200 shot putting me at 26*. My runs were more consistent with the 150 shot. I added timing up to 28.5, but that slowed me down on the mph. Any suggestions?
LT1 355, 3.23 gears, 3600 stall, all stock suspension, AFR 195 heads w/ cc306

I recently found I had a bottle pressure issue and it was keeping my gains from being what they should.

Is there a wideband in the car?

Are you sure that extra 50 isn't the straw that broke the camel's back as far as the converter is concerned? It could be blowing thru a little causing minimal gain.

you can't read the fuel on that plug because of all the run time on it. Also can't compare times if the sixty foot isn't the same. Huge difference

A lot of different cars need different slip.

Anything over 12-15% I'd consider excessive.

If your car is spinning that much I wouldn't touch the tune. Get your car to work, then see what you got-

Get you some lcas, make sure your ic is right, get an arb, and a good tq arm and that thing consistent in the 60- once your there, then start looking at your tune.

Just wondering what plate and intake manifold? Have you checked all the plugs? I see lt1 guys worry about 1 and 8 cylinder when spraying above 200+ with lt1 manifold.

It's a Nitrous Outlet Plate System with the stock intake. My 8 cylider is fine, it's the 1 hole that seems to get hotter than the rest. But even it looks "ok".
