Damn, I figured you must of had that car pretty well lightned up to be running what you are. That's impressive, IMO.

I think if you pull those three things off/out of her, you could easily see 1-2tenths. I'd bet your front seat weighs 30-40 lbs, rear seat around 15-20, and the front sway bar 15. Add up the weight and the better weight transfer from the sway bar, and you should see at least a tenth minimum.

If you went from 385 to 430ish with the intake, you'll gain 3 tenths even if is all up top. I say you've got that 10.99 with the intake and weight reduction.

I think the best was 1.64

most were 1.65-1.7 range.

I had the sway bar on last time. I was referring to the front

I'm no suspension expert, but getting some traction bars and properly setting the preload could possibly help your 60' a bit. just an idea.

Not really, I really have minor weight reduction....and the auto/ blower kit adds weight back.

I have an alum block and a gutted trunk basically.

Tried a few things, flashing the converter and foot braking.

Footbraking worked the best overall....the cars an auto with a 3800 stall.

Really not sure if theres any way to help my launch procedure.

No vids unfortunately but the car is pretty stiff with not much weight transfer but it seems ot hook and go with the slicks

3/10s is a lot but I think you'll be damn close if you nail the launch and lighten it up 100 to 150 pounds.

What else have you done to the VB? What brand converter and what size, not RPM.
