Default C6 after Supercharging and Meth injection

I'm updating my C6 GS data after adding a supercharger, 2500 stall converter and meth injection. The supercharger got me into the low 11's but I was not satisfied. The meth injection and a re-tune got me into the 10's.

congrats Chris.

Bracket racing this past Sunday car was consistent. First two slips time trials. Third slip race against Dodge Demon. Peddled at the end to not break out.

Time trials

whats your rear tires? Try 275/40r17 if not already.

Aftermarket TC will make it a 0.1-0.2 faster.

That's about as good as you can expect with a stock converter. Although you might try footbraking to 1100-1200 on the launch to stop the bog.

I'm thinking either your launch RPM is low or your tune is not taking full advantage of your mods. Possibly both. Try an 1800 RPM launch to see if (and how much) that helps.
With that converter and power, you should easily have 60' times of 1.5 or better and ET's in the 10.5 range.
I managed 60's between 1.48 and 1.54 consistently and ET's in the 10.8-10.9 range with 100 less HP.

I do launch at 1800-200.

Doubt that you can do it here.
600+ whp, LS7 with ETs 10.2-10.5 and +135 mph traps are averaging 1.55-1.6 in 60’. I bet DA plays a huge factor.

My tune is spot on, I will just make sure that gears are optimal.

Assuming the "here" is Qatar, your Dec-Feb temps should give you DA's lower than Phoenix where a good DA is rarely under 1000'.
While gears may may a little difference, do some research on member Thesubfloor, since he swapped to a 3.42 and then back to a 2.56 and noted his times didn't change enough to notice.at his power level. (~600)

thats actually not bad for a stock converter A6 what was the rest of your timeslip? i went from a 1.90 to a 1.62 and thats without tweaking the tune and with 3 passes with it so i know i can get a 1.59 out of it im sure without any extra power mods

Just checked the DA here, 4300+.

Achieving below 1.6 second in 60 feet with only 400whp would be amazing, as 600+ whp LS7 NA monsters could not.

As for 2.73, the idea is simple.
Dyno sheet says Peak power range is 6600-7200 rpm. With 2.56 I complete the 1/4 mile on 3rd gear and rpm of 6300 or below.

Will keep you posted.

I don't have it right now.

For some reason, the max rpm that I could rev to or footbraking is ~ 2500 (500whp).

Yank response:

"That is about right because the converter we sent you is a 4,000 flash stall so footbrake is always about 800-1000 RPM less. Also, the triple disk converters are a little harder to stall under lower horsepower. "​​​​​​​"
