You and me both man. I cant get traction for nothing. Spinning tires all the way to second gear. I know I am quicker. You 2nd and 3rd gen guys can put spring blocks in from a delivered GTO to stop that pesky weight transfer. I cant with a monoleaf rear spring.

Going to eventually upgrade to KYB coil over. That should help some. Some slicks up front might help more. But I think my tranny is about blown. Inbetween the street racing, and track, its starting to whine. Hopefully I can find a built 4T60. Problem is the tranny shops I have been dealing with wont do it cause the car has been modified with a turbo. No matter how many times I tell them its stock, they dont beleive me. I am also trying to see if a quiafe can be installed.

Got some FFP poly motor mounts too. I am only shooting for high 13's. Any more than that, I would have to breathe on the motor some. Maybe when I blow it I will, but not befor..

Yeah, I had the laptop hooked up on that run and I didnt get any substantial traction until late in second gear. I also forgot to lower my tire pressure as well, I run about 38lbs to help with mileage some.

With regards to the transmission. Amazingly enough, mine is in trouble too and its whining. But I have a spare Im working on. With that said, for your 4T60, I would HIGHLY recommend you contact Trannyman95. He will most definitely hook you up with a quality transmission.

Your goals and mine are about the same. I get into the 13's, maybe mid 13's, I think I'll be happy.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

Even if you shoot for the moon and miss, you still land among the stars.
