These cars suck on the 1/8mile, theyr just gettin started at that point. if u want an 1/8 mile car put the stock turbo back on with very quick spool & 4.11 gears

My 60 ft was 2.18 my buddy has a monte carlo with 411 and his 60ft was 2.00 @buick gn3:16 I know because once I spooled up I was gone but he had the jump on me at the light

When exactly at the line do you start building your boost against the brakes?

2.18 what are you using for tires(psi, john force burn out, driving through/around the water?)
As turbo Dave asks when are you starting your boost build. You might need to start sooner and "bump" into the second light.
What torque converter are you using, stall speed(rpm)

You should be in the 1.8 range if they do a decent job prepping the track. And then into the 7s easily.

60'?
330'?
Your mph at 87 you are making the power. Just got to get it to launch.

i run 19# in my drag radials,any less gets loose at end.but in the 1/8 you might be able to go less.30# is way to much imo
