Car has 30 over 454 with comp cam xe268 cam with a performer intake.850 holley vac secondary carb.should mention was with stock rear end. And 14 inch street tires spinning what felt like forever.most of my 60 foot times were around 3.3 sec. Trap speed was betwern 102 and 107 mph. Heres a video of it. Was 1 of my better launches. Easing into the throttle

Your trap speeds indicate that the car is good for mid-12s. Get some better rubber on that thing.

I agree- you need traction. With that much power, youre better off at least with Mickey Thompson sprtsman tires in the rear, but better to get some drag radials or et street tires

I cant tell, was there water in the burnout box? Never drive thru the water with street tires, they throw water into the fenderwells during the burnout, where it can later drip out on the tires and track as you are staging. Just to repeat, you need more traction, with that much torque I would expect to see some frame flex on launch, unless it is braced up really well.
