Boy, you are a heck of a driver. Those times vary by about a 10th of a second.

I heard converters were awful in these cars!!!!!

Your car is a monster. Nearing 130mph in an auto is outrageous. You need a converter bad though. High 1.8 60's are weak sauce when you are obviously putting down great power.

With a converter you'll be nipping at 10's

AH, you just got your trans fixed too didnt you.

If you would, could you post your mods. I know the cam is not exact though. Is your LS3 intake ported? Ported TB?

Default Clumpled timeslip

I was laughing to myself when I saw that crumpled timeslip among the 5 of them and then looked and saw why.....it had a 12.0 on it. I have had many of those slips in my car on the passenger floor after a night at Moroso. Get yourself a nice stall set-up and hit that 10.90 run as that will make up for every one of those crumpled timeslips.

Great runs

do you have a stock gear?
2.56, 3.15 , 3.42??
it sounds like a gear would help you more than a converter, IMHO
after seeing your run that's what I would do, what gear are you in at the traps??

If I hadn't gotten the boot from Sacramento last Wednesday night, I probably would have been able to run a high 10 second pass on Friday.

Even though I've already got 3.42 gears in the car, the difference between my stock and 3600 Yank was 0.32 seconds which like I said, could have been more as the slower time (11.475 was run on a prepped track) and the 11.155 was on an unprepped one.

Go for the 3600, you'll love it and it is extremely streetable too.
