Default 06 base+ecs kit+headers= 11.3

ran my car last night and hit an 11.3

I am confident I will be running 10's with a set of drag radials.

anyways, here is the slip from last night.

Good start. The trap speed tells me that the ecm is pulling timing up top or there's something else wrong. Live in a high altittude area? How was the DA? You should be trapping at least 130mph on a bad day.
I suggest to start monitoring and if you are planning to use drag radials be ready to buy a better clutch. I'm about to swap into my second clutch kit!

I have a twin disc clutch from monster clutch installed already.

I was running 130mph in the car, but have since put a gm crate engine in it as my other ls2 exploded lol.

I have not had the car re-tuned since.

it put down 610rwhp

I guess the engine is still being broken in? Good on the clutch! My mcleod rxt didnt last but 8k miles. I am bummed and will stop drag racing with the drag radials or remove the sc. Having this muh power becomes addictive and it just snowballs from there.

You should get the tune looked at anyways.
