I posted this elsewhere. This is with 381rwhp, 384 peak torque.

Let me know what you think, or how it looks considering my mods.
I've got Bassani Headers and 3.73s on my list for next mods. Then i'm going for extreme matrix subframe connectors (grinding out the ones I have), and maybe a strut tower brace. After that, I want to make the car handle better on the track and the strip.
For the record, I think i'm not exactly NHRA legal since I don't have a roll cage but I can't imagine having a huge chunk of metal in my vert. Any ideas on how I can make it work without completely ruining the appeal of the car (able to use speedster tonneaus, able to have people in the back seat comfortably) would be appreciated.

Depends on your track, many tracks run a "true stock" class and will allow 11.50's out of verts (as long as they fit the rules) without requiring a cage. Since your car came with a supercharger (pretty sure Saleen is considered a type of factory production in a way) you should be able to fit in the true stock class. Open to interpretation I guess.

Your times are ok, they'd be much much better if you ran stickier tires and gears. Even being a very you have the potential for low 12's, high 11's without getting too radical. With 412rwhp I pulled an 11.47 @ 120 and some change. Granted I wasn't as heavy as your car though. I ran slicks and had some suspension mods.

Yeah, I'm hoping for something like that(low 12s, high 11s). I've got the saleen supercharger but it's not actually a saleen. The S/C was purchased for the car before I got it along with some of the interior crap. With just the supercharger it was 327rwhp, 346 torque... Not so great for an intercooled supercharged GT huh?

I had tire/jack and a trunk full of crap. I ran on winter tires. But the slips were at Cecil County Maryland which is pretty close to sea level. The one that I finished with 13.1, I didn't shift into 4th at all. I finished that in 3rd at 109... I'm sure it's not good to be reving my engine that high. If I add gears, I add another shift. We'll see how that turns out. The good news is that it's getting cooler so I'm hoping for good times before the winter sets in. I haven't gotten kicked off the track yet but if I hit low 12s, that could change.
