C'mon guys let it rest![sm=headbang.gif]

As for the OP, with those mods you should be able to hit a low 14, if you're lucky a high 13. I know with my car and my 275 rear tires that I had traction issues all through first, even when I just gunned it off the line. Just a word of caution, pay attention to how the car responds, you're trying to get a perfect RPM for the launch that doesn't break the tires loose, but gets just to that point. It's going to take some practice and some pedal finess.

Grats on the 13!

From your 60' it looks like you need to work on your launch and first gear traction, but other than that it looks pretty good!

You have the same tires as me BF Goodrich, after my first trip to the strip I bought a set of MT ET Streets and put them on my old wheels for the same exact reason.

Haven't had a chance to run with the slicks yet (mine actually aren't a radial, they're the closest you can get to a true racing slick and still be "DOT" approved, but I'll never run them on the street, they're too soft imho), but I need to get some skinnies up front so I can run them, that will happen this summer when the track opens back up. I ran a 14.7 up here in Denver (5280 ft), so that's around a 13.8 if I were at sea level on my BFGs.

13.9! nice!

it's a fairly stock LT1 right? with a better launch and reaction time you could deffently hit 13.7!

yes its a basically stock LT1 with 95,000 miles on it. just got the K&N Cold Air Intake, Jet Air foil which imo dont think it does much maybeit helps WOT at 90mph, an exhaust cut-out past the cats, and a flowmaster cat-back which wasnt even being used since i had the cut out open.
