The tires should make a huge improvement. My 82 went from 9.20's to mid 8s with tires. The combo of tires, converter and some practice went from 9.20's to 7.90's. Unfortunately I did the converter first and spun hopelessly for on test and tune outing.

ALWAYS choose the V over the P!!! Wait... what?
Yup, tires, suspension, and practice. You'll drop a full second off of your 1/8th mile ET without adding any horsepower.

Did the LSx car have street tires or drag radials?
As for the speed and time, don't feel so bad...
It has more to do with your traction and shifting than anything.

Oh, and make sure the rough idle you 'think' might be a cam from a previous owner is not a problem.
Lots of problems, like a weak cylinder, for example, can sound like a cam.

I dont mean to sound like a douche bag, but im going to sound like a douche bag
dont bother getting that car tuned. From what ive read its a train wreck mods wise (ive been there, done that myself so dont think im being holier than thou or anything)
there are quite a few mismatched parts on there that are only hurting you. Yes, stickier tires will help, but there are a lot of issues that need addressed long before traction. Noobz pointed most of them out so i wont rehash them, but consider getting the car lined out first, and then working on the driver mod after that. Not saying its a bad car, just saying its "misguided"
There is a date stamp in the lower left corner of every post, no worries though, alot of new comers don't notice it.

" I didn't see that" ....
It should be on a hat that the offender has to wear....
A big red one..with scratched out stuff about Make America great again on the front.
Or conversely..
" Lock me up"
Yeah,...Every guy who revives a 5 yr old thread should have to wear a red hat with one slogan or the other written on it.

Why not have a timer on a thread where once it gets to a certain age it automatically locks it? Oh, btw, America is great again!
