I have done a bunch of weight saving mods. Just not the one that involves me and a diet It still has the stock leather seat and stock brakes along with a new 5 point rollbar.

Quickshotkimber, you should look into a pair of the Hoosier radial slicks in a 30x9x15 like I have. They work great, I had a 1.50 60ft this past weekend and they should help your combo as well.

Thanks Randy, I just think they may be overkill with only a 4.10 gear. I want something that will let me use the gear at the line and still make it through the traps. I'm gonna try a 28" QTP in the hopes that it will grow enough on the big end.

Re: H&C LT1= 10.8 on DRs

Quickshot, the QTP's will help b/c they will grow unlike the Drag radials. I think your converter maybe slipping a little more than you need to. It would be fine if you could turn your stock bottom 7500-8000rpms but that would be dangerous.You should be able to run over 122mph with 4.10's, 28inch tires and a 7000rpm limit. Check it out online and find out how much slippage you are getting. What size radial are you running and what torque arm setup are you using? I am running those big 325/50/15's and a stock torque arm but I am looking at going with a Spohn setup but don't know if I should go with a trans mounted or a subframe setup shorter arm setup. With the stock torque arm and some 26x10" ET drags the best I have done is a 1.49 60' but only once and a few 1.50's on the radials with the 150jets and 3.42 gears. LMK Later Clint

Re: H&C LT1= 10.8 on DRs

It is actually running just under 123 with a 275/60/15. I was 60fting between 1.48 and 1.51 each pass. The new cam wants to shift around 6400, perfect for my bottom end. The tranny feels fine, I would just like to bring my trap rpms down a bit. I can feel the car slowing down after 6700.
I run the spohn adj TQ arm that bolts to the subframe.

Re: H&C LT1= 10.8 on DRs

Cool, I am about to invest in a Sohn or BMR Torquearm and adjustable Panhard rod in search for low 1.5's N/A and low 1.4's on the bottle. I think you have a little more converter slippage then you may want but it's hard to find a converter that leaves awesome and doesn't slip much. Later and goodluck. Clint

It may be slipping a little up top. Might have been a little low on tranny fluid too. The funny thing is that the stall felt a little too tight out of the hole. It seemed to only be hitting around 3600. It works well for the street but leaves a little on the table at the track. BTW, you will love the TQ arm. I cracked the hell out of my tailshaft cutting 1.51 with the stocker and 10 bolt
