just added VETTE DRAG PACK suspension... new QA1 shocks... rear VB/P Spring...

maybe I can cut 1.7 or 1.6

Or course getting new Dragradial would help... they are 7 years old LOL

My old car went 1.62 60ft and ran mid 12's with around 106 mph, with the mph you're making I would think if you got it to hook really hard you might break high 1.5's.

Nice car don't see enough of those these days

wait till you run low 12.0's right before the tracks close for the winter and then tell me how much you cant wait to get back out there and go 11.99.

Are you spinning? one of the key is TRACTION. Get your sixty foot times to 1.6's and your there!
What tires are you running?

Looks like its making pretty good power, I'd say its good for low 12.30s or so with a better 60ft. You are making good power, but i'm guessing its going to take either more gear or more HP for 11s. 113 mph or so is usually enough power for 11s. My car was barely in the 11.80s on DRs running 1.49-1.50 60s and 113-114mph. You are on the right track though!

I did go 12.3s... see the other slip... thats mine also. I need to get another set of tires...

going with M/T this time. My BFG are pretty much dead and slipping.

as far as Size I am 275/60R15

I think I am good for 12.1 right now.

Nice job. Drop that 60' to a 1.6 or 1.7 and you'll be right around 12.0 or 12.1. 11s is gonna be hard only trapping 110, but not impossible if you can launch the hell out of it. Good luck.

Well... I have gone 12.2 @112...

THAT IS my best so far... I repeated that time 3 times... out of 4 runs that night. That was a month ago.

Last trip to the track... I was 2-3 tenths off... SUCKS... I guess the weather is getting 2 hot and humind in central florida... Going to get my carb retuned.

brand new M/T 275/60R15

I wish I got 275/50R15....would have been 26in tire... that may have done it for me.

That all depends on your gearing. They might actually give you the extra MPH you're looking for

Oh wow, a 28" tire is definitely not helping the cause. Gear up and keep the 28's then
