The Red Dragon runs 11.30 all motor and still has more Running with header leaks and tuning issues still and managed a 11.30 at 122mph on a 1.65 sixty.
car is not even setup for drag racing with its lighter flywheel and strano springs and koni shocks..

Hey what do you know! My best was 11.5 with a 1.7, a 1.6 would of put me at 11.3 no doubt.
Guess it'll be interesting to see what our cars can do, you fully tuned and worked out, and me on spray like you said i should run you.
Great times for sure, hope to meet sometime!

I am sure it does, but it wasnt specificly built for drag, has a lighter than stock flywheel, and only 3.90 gears. 4.11s would knock off a little time and keep the power band up, some weight reduction is needed as well. retuning and fixing the exhuast leaks didnt seem to change hp so we will see. also think im getting a valve sticking from running rich so long

well found out the valve ticking was a broken valve spring
so maybe she did have more in her, i had good duels so it held the valve up but not enouph pressure to keep the combustion from escaping, it was also the reason I thought I had a exhaust leak, I was racing again last week and whole cylider went dead, pulled valve and found spring it had finally broken a second time after binding up on a pass. but i did run a 12.2 on 7 cylinders at 114mph

It honestly feels like its more power than it EVER has, I dont think things were right since I rebuilt it I always wondered why the HP lvl wasnt that much more after a cam and intake swap, i went a little bigger on the cam to. I did still drop 4 tenths at the track with the new setup, now I find myself having to turn the traction control off alot just to keep it from bucking when leaving lights, she definetly wants to break loose alot more, im dynoing it next saturday so we will see if numbered changed
