As Ralph has said I got that 12.0 down and now the roll bar goes in tomorrow.
I think that run may have bested that 11.71. Well we'll know soon.

Not shure when you scrubbed on the brakes I imagine just after the 1000
foot mark or so.
I posteded the faster ET also just to compared what the 60 foot does out there.
Your setup seems great!!

Re: 1.615 60' NEW BEST (JD 90 383)
Interesting... we have a handful of cars on the forum that run literally hundredths apart. John, looks like you would have run 11.69... very little et is gained or loss from 1000 to 1320 as you know.
The following is my best et to date, but this will be beat within the next 1-2 months with better air.
1.552 60 ft
4.682 330 ft
7.334 1/8th
92.38 mph
11.559 1/4 et
116.99 mph
The next run is from two weeks ago with a DA somewhere around 1500 ft out of memory.
1.572 60 ft
4.708 330 ft
7.368 1/8th
92.22 1/8 mph
11.610 1/4 et
116.04 mph
In comparison, I can't help but think you guys converters are more efficient than mine on the big end.... typically when I have a 91.50 ish 1/8th mph, I'm only going to run right around 116ish flat, but not always. Could be the radials though, I'm running ET Streets.

Re: 1.615 60' NEW BEST (BOWTYE8)
BOWTYE8,
Those are some good times for a ZF6. What type of rear end do you have now? Looks like the solid roller added 3MPH and dropped your ET by .13.
JohnM:
Great times for a 350 LT-1. :cheers:

Re: 1.615 60' NEW BEST (Red Rocket)
Red
I am running what is considered a stage 2 dana 44. The gears are true dana 4.10's with a trac lok posi( harden spiders,upgraded clutchesk,harden cross pin.
The rest of rear is pretty much 85 stock except for the 87 rear spring and kyb shocks.
I must say I hae ALOT of abuse on my ZF. They are great trannys. But when you do miss a shift espically at say 7000 . it cant be good. I missed a 1-2. The problem is when I miss I try again and by then you out out of sync trying to pwr shift and it just dosnt happen so you basically have to (shoould just abort the run),
