Congrats on the 10! Definitely some low 10-second potential in there.

Yep, its a street car so I doubt it will see the track anytime soon or that ill even change the converter but its nice to know the potential is there.

And yea, the turbo pull is awesome!

With that kind of MPH you really need a looser converter and the 3.55's IMHO.
I also think that there are 2-3 tenths that you are missing right now.
60' was really pokey, sign off tight converter, half track (660') was slow by about 2/10's....

Yea, I couldnt agree more...definitely could use a looser converter and it looks like the 3.55s would be a more optimal gear for the setup.

I agree with that as well, I think I could have worked on the shift points and launch as it was and had it down to 10.50s-10.60s.

I literally didnt make a single change...took the car to the track, threw some MT slicks on it at 15 psi and ran it a few times.

I shoulda datalogged the run to see where the shifts and lock ups were occurring cause I honestly couldn't keep track at all during the runs.
