looks like photobucket changed their service and no longer allows hotlinking... here's the list as of Oct 2016

The 110 trap speed is excellent but your problem, as you probably already know, is a lack of traction. The 2.1X 60' time says it all and you could easily shed 3/10 from that.
Are you still in 3rd gear going through the trap? What's your rev limiter set at?
I also have 3.55s and with 255/45R18s, I'm coasting for the last few feet 'cause I hit 6500rpm in 3rd just short of the trap.
In case you're wondering how I got my time, I "cheated" a bit by removing the front passenger seat, rear seat, spare wheel, trunk contents (110lb total), and ran with a 1/4 tank of gas (75lb less than a full tank).

Yeah these tires are very limiting. I want to push it though and see how fast it can go on them for now. Trying to convince a buddy to get a 3v and he challenged me to run 12.7 on these tires without changing the rear gears. I just put cams in it and had Lito re tune it for me. On those runs my limiter was set at 6400. I was bouncing off limiter right after crossing the finish line at the very top of 3rd. Tires are 235/55r17 and 27.2 inches tall. I recently set the limiter to 6700 with the cams even though the power starts to taper off with these at 6300. Just need the extra rpm to be in the power band by the next gear. I ended up damaging my 1-2 synchro in the trans recently so i am working on getting a replacement. Soon hopefully.

Good luck! I think I went 12.8x best on street tires, the 60 ft was the huge limiter and that TR3650 is a real bitch for power-shifting. I went through 3 of them before I just took the dive on the t56 magnum.
And you're right on with the ideas of shifting to fall back into the torque on the strip, lots of people are still on that "it doesn't make power up there, why you shifting so high" thing.
I shift at 6600 to 6800.

I put this together when I was trying to figure my stuff out, this is all with 1st gear going into 2nd.
T56 is geared so much better even when shifting at 6k

Hoping for very low 12s this winter as cooler air comes in.

I had a copy of it at one time, think I was #8, car is faster now, would be curious to see where I rank, honestly though most of the guys on the list probably don't have their cars any more.
