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

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.

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.
