Plus with me 4l60e's low 1st gear is 4.56 gonna get me outta first gear to quickly?
love my 4.56s 65mph at about 2400rpm on a 30" tire. i can't remember what i cross the traps at for sure but its a pretty good rpm in 3rd...

I think with a looser converter and 4.56s you could hit 12.7s... Aren't those pt converters 258mm?

Yes they are, I think the current gear is holding me back too. The 4.56 hopefully will help.

And more importantly, what happened at the track? What were your IATs? What was your ECT? Any KR? Track prep? DA?
