Default Looking for advice to get into the 11's

Ok, I've listed my mods, dyno sheet, and timeslip. Looking for advise on how to improve my time. Everything points to 11.7 yet my best run is 12.3. I have MT ET Streets on a stock 17" wheel. I have linelocks so I heat them up well. I've run them anywhere between 14 and 16 psi. I do slip off the line and always seeem to be battling the car to stay in the groove. Second year running at the track. Want to know what else I should be looking for/paying attention to. Currently in a rut at 12.4 @ 113mph.
Any feedback is deeply appreciated

PERFORMANCE MODS:

4.6 3v OHC V8
Automatic
Procharger Stage II 10 psi

Change your tires. Looks like getting a good hook would really drop your times. I agree, you have the goods to do better.

Haunt Ebay for some used wheels with slicks. Drag radials might work better than those Streets, too.

Practice, practice and more practice, you'll get there.
Drag racing isn't as easy as some people think it is. There is a definite learning curve to figure out your car at the track and it does take practice.

Drag Radials will not hook better than ET Streets, ever!!! Now you may have a bit much rim but not the problem. What are you launching at, are you leaving at full boost or what?

Have launced with a load (around 2k) and off idle. The 12.3 run was off idle. Boost doesn't kick in till 3k rpms with the Procharger.

the 116 mph has low 11's written all over it....

but the 1.92 60' is where the problem is

it appears the car has all the element to run well into the 11's

my first thought you need tire & second more seat time.....

you have the car to run the number.....

i would either go with a DR or slicks......

if you have a video, post it so we can see what the car is actually doing.....

Get some good Drag radials, or slicks as mentioned. Heat those babies up and hold on. You will be in the 11`s.
M&H OR MT`S

with the auto I'm surprised at your times.

What size MTs are you running?

my guess a higher stall TC will help a lot, you need to be able to launch the car above 3000 rpm IMHO. I have a similar set up with a Vortech an a 5 speed launching @ 4700 or so and pulling 1.68-1.75 60s and running 11.8x-11.9x @ 119-120 on a small side wall 265/40/18 MT ET SR II

Hey Joe I think you are not heating them up enough, how long of a burn out are you doing? They should hook if you get them hot and sticky. A higher stall TC would help.

I have MT ET Streets on 17" rims. I heat'em up till I feel it push (thanks to the line locks). Still have the stock converter. I've been told a TCI Converter is the way to go to get the 60' around 1.6/1.7 sorry no video

I have the stock converter, and I am in the 1.7`s . Just try this one time heat them up more that you normally do. Your going to hook,so be ready. Launch from idle , do not rev the torque converter up. Please just try this one time.

Watch and see how much smoke I put out and really heat them up.

450 HP you should be easily in the mid to high 11's. You need tires or or just learn to launch that baby.
