Went to the track yesterday and was pretty consistent. This was my best time.

I just cant believe the 130k old suspension and semi old street tires can pull that kinda 60'. I was amazed. Im def going to start doing some upgrades. prolly some lca's and better shocks, get it to hook better.

yea 2500 stall tci lock up


yea i had a buddy of mine take a video of the launch. It sags real bad as soon as you let off the brake. so im thinking at least a new set of good shocks will help that a lil. and once i get my datalogging and tuning software, i can make the adjustments to the tranny and prolly get down to a 12.99. the 2-3 shift takes too long and bounces off the limiter. so i wanna raise the line pressure and lower the shift point about 100 rpms

A shift kit will help with the shifts :)
Unless its past the point of correction. Do you have the stock gears in it?

A buddy of mine had a 1989 L98 IROC with some bolt ons and a 100hp nitrous kit I installed. With a 100% stock suspension, stock drivetrain (no converter), and nitto drag radials it ran 1.69 60' and 13.0 at 105 consistently at the track. The car took off like a dragster and obviously crapped out after 330'...

I didnt want to say it but I'm only catback and intake running on 245 street tires .29 slower than that. (With all due respect)

The OP did mention "2-3 shift takes too long and bounces off the limiter"
So he could very well drop some more ET with those changes. Its been 6 months now. I wonder if it's any quicker
