Went 11.67/120.... Want more!
Hi, Hi.. To begin with here's my time slip:
1.715 60 ft
95.34 mid mph
7.497 660
120.32 mph
11.678 ET
I've got '97 383 M6 Trans Am... 12 bolt and 4.10 gears. Stock heads, ported to 260/230 at .600 lift and custom roller cam that's at .603/.608 lift and duration at .050 at 230°/236 with 112 ls. and the compression ratio is about 10.8.
I ran it with centerline autodrag rims and 26x9x15 Hoosier slicks.
Now here's my suspension I've got boxed lower control arms, relocating brackets and boxed panhard bar, air bags and thats it...
What should I see in improvement by adding some nice torque arm (the short one from Sphon? (spelling)) and some other things I could add in......
Here's a picture

The need for speed. No matter how fast you run, you'll always want to go faster. The only cure is to spend more money.
I'm at the bottom end of a 10 second pass and I really want that 9 second timeslip!

Well 120mph is good for low 11's. My car ran 11.20@120mph with a 1.58 60' that should have been better but I only have 3.42 gears in the rear and little ole 355" LT1. Goodluck. Later Clint

I'll agree with that. I went 11.2 at 121 with a 1.57 60'. Stock 350 and 3.42's on a 150 shot. Have you tried different tire presures etc.? I have an auto and run on 15" mt street radials. How old are those tires?
You've got plenty more in her, I'd look into some QA1's and an adj TA. They will get you that 60' you want.

Re: Went 11.67/120.... Want more!
what rpm are you launching at? Are you getting traction?
I have only had mine out once, but I launched at 5500 rpm and got a 1.60 60' that was with 28x9x15 slicks, qa1's, spohn t/a, 4.11's
You definately have something to gain in the 60'

Hi agian...
The tires are brand new Hoosier slicks... I tried tire pressures from 13-18 psi (cold).... It did'nt hook until I got it down to about 13-14 psi cold.
I definately will be looking into buying an adjustable torque arm... QA1's comes after that
we're talking about money here, guys 
My fastest pass was 120.9mph BTW......
