Default 11's...It should be a no brainer

But what gives on this. Last year I was just cam only (same cam in sig) 3600 stall and 2.73 gears. I ran a 12.23 @113.04 60' 1.76.

So this year I blew the tranny and got a stage5 tranny built, stepped it up to a 4200 stall, added 3.73's, a S3 TB and Patriot S2 heads. I still need some tuning done but the car seems to pull a lot harder then last year. I took it to the track and the best I could do was a 12.54@111. My 60' wasn't all great (1.92) but I still think that I would be pretty close to 11's and my trap should be a lot higher then that.

I've seen similar setups going mid 11's. I know if I can get the 60' down it'll help the time a little and some tuning will help it out more, but I want a no **** honest answer. Is the car capable of mid to high 11's?

Get it tuned and see. Your 60 is a bit high, but the MPH is on for a high 11 pass. Should be much better than that for a H/C car though.

you need a gear in the rear. 2:73's arnt enough, try 3:73 or 4:10 seen great luck with both, never heard of a 2:73 car in the 11's, but thats just me.

Get it tuned and get the 60' down into the low 1.6's or better. What changed that made your 60' 0.2 slower than last year? Anything you can put your finger on? With that big of a stall and the power you'll have when tuned you should be able to pull 1.5x.

1BAD98LS1: He already has 3.73's.
