He went an 8.01 at 90-91mph was his best pass. All on 17" radials and his 60 fts never came out of the 2.xx's, so he was pretty pleased. A set of tires and it should be a solid mid 7's car.

Sounds like you may have some other issues as well, maybe tuning or something simple. I had a stock LS1 that went 8.50's consistantly at a similar MPH in stock trim. Maybe get it tuned but none the less, its a good lookin car.

Scott-dont forget this track is almost half a second slower then most around here, namely due to the traction issues. should be good to go next year though
