Not to happy with track times
 
heres my time slip 12.8 at 108 my 60' was 2.1my r/t was 1.06 this is not what i was hopping for i wanted to run low 12's but i couldnt get the slicks to hook i wanted to get a 1.5 60' i think i might be able to get it lower with some traction and i still havnt had the carb tunned its just right out of the box

track times
 
A 2.1sec. 60ft. time with slicks?? How is that possible?! What are you launching at? Are you heating them up enough in the burnout? I don't know about pulling a 1.5 60ft. time with your set up though? Maybe a 1.7 or 1.6 if you're sticking real good.

we have pulled 1.5 on that car b4 on slciks and some 1.7's on street tires..it was just a cold day

Well i found that new slicks need some wear on them to hook, with my experience anyway, also go to a a vic jr. intake and you might gain about 2 mph, what cam are you running?

custom grind

Another thing to take into consideration is the tire pressure you were running in the slicks. Do you remember what you were running them at?

12

If you ran a 12.8 with a 2.1 60 ft, you will run a high 11 with a 1.5 60ft.

Won't make 11's on a 108mph....not gonna happen.

You could run a low 12 with that mph though. You have the sway bar off? What kind of suspension mods do you have?

How about 11.8 @107mph......69 chevy C-10 truck built 406. It used to run a 13.2 @95. I dont know what the deal is but it happens.

The 60ft time is the most important thing to me. If it is not good you will never know the potential of your package. The cheapest and one of the most effective things you can do is replace the front springs with either 4cyl fronts or a dedicated set of drag fronts. Followed by a set of drag struts, I use 90/10s and drive it every day. And set of skinny draglights up front. This will do a lot for 60ft times, then you can do the back of the car. Also if the slicks you used are old, they will not perform like a fresh set.
