I went to the local 1/8th mile track last night and made a few passes. All mods are in my sig, with the exception that I was running the stock turbo, injectors, and a TT chip.

1st pass:
60ft 1.894 (little spin)
330 5.128
1/8 7.896
mph 88.47

2nd pass:
60ft 1.798 3-4lb launch
330 5.020
1/8 7.785
mph 88.51

3rd pass: 5lb launch
60ft 1.696
330 4.912
1/8 7.669
mph 88.88

Went for a 10lb launch and blew the tires off. The suspension of the car is completely stock other than the removal of the front sway bar. All runs were made leaving off the foot brake with 20lbs of boost. This was my first time to the track with this car, I was shifting right at 52-5400 alky knob was set on 2.5 all runs were made with zero knock. I think with a little more seat time and a better 60ft a 7.4-7.5 would not be out of the question. All in all it was a fun night drove down and back without breaking anything. Once I get my other turbo rebuilt I will definately have to try it again.
 
Those are pretty good times! On one of my runs I went 7.53@88.3mph with a 1.61 60ft and it ended up being an 11.97@110.1mph. Seems like you're right there.

What kind of converter do you have on the th400? Are you going to try the transbrake with the stock turbo?

Thanks, it is a 9.5 inch b&m converter I had restalled to 3200. Maybe once I get some suspension work done and u-joints I will use the transbrake. I was having trouble with traction going off the foot brake I just assumed it would make it worse. I do not get a chance to go to the track often but I would like to take it out again, maybe this time I will put a little bit of weight in the trunk as well as an air bag in the right spring.
