those 60's are pretty bad, just get some real dr's like some mt's or something, cut a 1.7 and u have a mid 12 second run

i still think that you should be able to run better then that with all that power. yes if you get the 60 down you will run better thats obvious.
a regular corvette for ex. can run in the 12s with no mods and less power, why is this? is it just that their weigh distribution is that much better? i would think that you be able to smoke a regular vette with that kind of power.

You got 4.10's and a KB at 9psi. You'll need sticky tires for sure. Have you considered dropping down to a 3.55 gear?

good point, kb reccomends 3.73's, I do think the 4.10's are too high for all the low end torque.StratGT said:

I ran 13.2 at 111 mph with 3.73's and a Vortech S-trim. This was on street tires also. Get some Nittos and be in the mid to high 12s.
well I have my rev limiter raised so I can finish the 1/4 in fourth,
Ive ordered 31 spline axles, Nitto DR's and Steeda UCA/LCA so Im hoping to get to mid 12's,
no traction in 1st or 2nd, Im letting the clutch slip cant hammer on it or it just spins,
Im happy with the MPH but want to run mid 12's
there was a S/C Z06 and he was running 12.4 @ 119
Ive beat stock 03/04 cobras on the street but Its alot harder on the track
Ill post what I run with the Dr's installed

no need too do that.. why not just get a taller slick/ drag radial. this acts like lowering the raito no need to demod the car.

With 390 rwhp and street tires (on 18" rims) I went 13.4 @ 112 with a 2.4 60' time. On ET Streets and everything else the same, I went 12.2 @ 114 with a 1.7 60' time.
Traction is definitely the problem.
As far as gearing goes, I have 4.10 gears. For me, they are the perfect gear on the track. They help me stay in the powerband. My power doesn't come on strong until 4k+ rpm and I shift @ 6,500 rpm. With a KB and limited traction, 4.10 might not be as ideal for you. But, as long as you can get all the power to the ground (ie traction) and have a high enough rev limiter to stay in 4th through the traps, a numerically higher gear ratio will always be superior.
