Dissect my time slip
First run with new mods (A&A V2 with meth injection, RST clutch and C6Z rear diff upgrades).
I was babying it off the line, a little timid about a hard launch on the new clutch/diff. I launched at ~1500 rpms. So my 60'/330' obviously sucks.
Based on the MPH, whats the best to hope for? Is it a 10 second car?

I'm not an expert but my guess would be with a good 60 foot the car could see low low 11s mid to high 10s? Just my 2 cents 130mph is flying

Mine went 10.86 with the same MPH. My 60' was 1.7xx with similar mods as yours.

That's what I was thinking too but I didn't want to be too confident. I would still have to put it all together and get a good run and let's face it, making 2 passes every 6 months doesn't get me enough practice. I need to start going more.

it's definitely capable if you get the 60' down and drive the hell out of it... there was a certain someone in the forced induction section a year or 2 ago that got a lot of flack for getting a plate without the slip, don't be that guy

You have 3.42's right? Mine only has the 3.15's, so the gearing will help also.

Lol. That was the joke I was making. Never running 10's (or 8's in his case) but putting it on the license plate anyway.
