Secondly, it looks like your car is built more for ride quality/handling then 1/4 racing, this isn't a bad thing, but it will definitly hold you up from peak potential.

And last but not least it looks like you are still untuned (fine tuned that is) and are just getting over fueling issues. So getting a handle on the setup might take a while to get fine tuned.

My outstanding questions are: Where are you shifting? Are you using the factory tach? (I would assume so since you pics don't show an aftermarket tach)

Oh and I ran the numbers you posted from this post last year and in good weather with a close to sea level DA you should be in mid 11's with a 1.75 or better 60'. So it looks like your on track to meeting your goals if you get good weather...
Well I dont want to jump on this thread with my pissing and moaning so Ill just answer these couple questions, say AWESOME job and congradulate for having a very fast bolt on LT1. I have a shift light set at 6500 rev limitted to 6700 and I launch at 5K on MT ET streets. and my race weight is 3780 (me in the car) and the tuning is getting really close, I put a wide band in and was floating around 13-14 at wide open with no spark knock, we added fuel and now the wideband is sitting pretty. so the next day we get some decent weather ill be at the track and whatever numbers I run thats it, there is no more room to tweak, I have every bolt on, the only thing that is not perfect is the headers they are 1-5/8 not 1-3/4 so im dropping a few hp there.
