Not surprised at all, I was on 315/35/17 drag radials, which running a shorter tire will always drop the trap speed. Im not looking for trap speed, im looking for ET!!!

) is that shorter/lower overall diameter (25.68" versus 26.85" stock) also lowered your final drive ratio, from a 3.42 to like a 3.60+ rear gear I think.

Well, decided to go to HRP tonight. Ill start with Conditions
56 Deg. 50 % humidity 30.24 Barometer
By my calculator, that comes out to -435 Density altitude....Not perfect, but very nice Got there around 515 pm, to find out they open at 2pm now and close at 8, so decided I better make a bunch of runs. Car was hot lapped all night
Raceweight 3450 with me in it. Car is a 3LT 6sp Z51, only mods are Drag radials, MTI tune, and Magnaflow mufflers (weld in, not cat back)
So, please move me up on the list for the 12.041@114.01!!!! with 1.722 60'!!!

Posted a new best today after a few tune tweaks
Did some scanning and noticed I was a little lean, added a bit of fuel through small increments and worked my way down to a new best.
Still 2000 DA! We just can't get a break from the heat this winter. Here are the splits:
60 - 1.709
330 - 4.969
1/8 - 7.644
MPH - 92.24
1000 - 9.936
1/4 - 11.858
MPH - 117.93

Thanks Dennis! I've got my sights set on you......
I would like to squeeze a couple more MPH and tenths out of it, if I can match my performance of my stolen H/C C5 without cracking a valve cover I will be really happy. But if it stays 85 degrees here all year, like it's looking like, it'll never happen!

Pretty good run for cam only car. That MPH says you can get 11.7s with a 1.6x 60ft. Keep practicing. I did not know that Rockingham had a 1/4. Thought it was a 1/8 only. Well that is a good deal since I will be in Winston- Salem in November for good. Take care, good run

Thanks so much, guys...I was really hoping to hit 11's, but I think the 12.0/12.1's are it on run flats. I couldn't better than a 1.9 60ft all day. You guys need to read my heads up race with a modded and dr'ed GT500 over at the "other cars" section....I have some pics to post, hopefully I can get them loaded up here soon.....

I was actually really unprepared for drag racing and forgot about all I knew until the first few runs were through....I had a full tank of gas, no fuel additives,didn't increase air pressure in fronts nor lower backs and didn't dump the windshield wiper fluid. Had I thought it through, I could've saved probally 100lbs of weight and had a bit better traction.
