Suspension: Strut tower brace, pfadt drag pack (trailing arms, toe rods, solid subframe/differential/engine mounts, front and rear sways). Nitto nto5r Drs on stock rims.
I heated the tires up really well, good amount of smoke in the water box.
All nannies are off. Put it in manual mode, but let it shift itself (tranny is tuned).
It was loose in first, but hooked in second, then pulled through third.
With the power and mods, everyone says I should be in the mid 11s but I can't figure out what else to do...
My options are:
pulley down (which will make my traction issues worse lol)
18" c6 vette wheels with Mickey Thompson DR in the rear.
Gears. Maybe swap the 3.23 for 3.73 or 3.91 but I'd assume it would make the lack of traction worse like a pulley swap.
Not sure what else to do. I've been told to undue the front sway, but I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.

An 18" Vette rim with MT DR will help tremendously. I Know Nitto Nt05r's aren't the best choice but I'm surprised that all you could get was a 2.1 60ft time. That's a horrible 60ft for your mods. You should be spinning badly.
If I were gonna change gears I would go with 3.45's. 3.73's can be too much gear for a supercharged car and 3.91's are definitely too much gear. You will be in 5th gear going thru the traps.
