Not sure how beeficial the Fast 90/90 setup would be for your car considering you don't have an aftermarket H/C setup, so I can't comment on that. As far as your 60ft times go, I got a 1.60 with 17" rims with MT's all day at the track So I'm sure that will help you get closer to your goal of 11.50

Good Luck!

Adjust your shift points. And practice more on launching.

A fast in my opinion would be a waste of money... your heads arent moving enough air to max that intake out yet. I would do a cam swap and put an underdrive pulley on while its out.

If you can meet us with us at the track and we can watch your runs and see if we can give you some pointers. Myself, AlexV, Nick, Tom, and a few other guys go alot to etown/ATCO. Also, there is a Corvette challenge this Sat Oct. 20th that many of us will attend.
It seems like your driving the car very well. You should be able to eek into the 1.6x's on a great launch.

It helps a lot. I'm definitely a lot further along with Alex and Rob's help than I would be on my own.

Screw nitrous. Learn to take full advantage of the power you have first. Once you do that then add more power.
