First time out crappy times

13.028 @111.53 was the best run, pretty consistant all day. 2.137 60ft on street tires. Im gonna get some radials, and dyno tune before I go back out. Think my times are crappy because 60ft? mph seems to be their. Any comments? thanks

What was the temp outside like and what were you shifting at? I bet there is more mph in there! But what do I know?

that mph is a good sign. means your making some good horsepower. thats easily a low 12 second run if you can hook. could also be the altitude where you are. was it hot and humid?

It's your suspension, you need to put some tubular trailing arms & relocation brackets, slp sfc's, phb, a good adj torque arm like a Spohn or BMR and some drag radials then your car should hook. But once you get it hooking start saving your money for a better rear cause with a stick and traction you will blow the stock one up. I put a Strange S60 in my 97 SS.

Try -3 deg on pinion ang. I'm using Nitto 555R 275/40/17's @17psi and with a good three gear burn out I'm getting consistant (1.66-68 ) 60 fts. I'm also using a cc306 cam in a 383 and it likes to launch at 3500rpm. I also picked up a tenth by shutting off the fans as I staged.
