Default If this doesn't get me low 11s, I don't know what will......

Did some purchasing/modification the last few weeks.

1. Yella Terra rockers installed- 5rwhp above 3500rpms?

2. Custom chromemoly subframes and Spohn relocation brackets.

3. Swapped the 4.11's in the car in place of the 3.73's. Maybe good for .1

4. Shaved 32lbs off the nose of the car via !Air and swapping from a yellow top optima to a Odyssey battery. .03 yeah right!

5. Bought these today:



Weld Draglite 90 series, 15x3.5 in the front and 15x10 7.5 BS in the rear with 26x10x15 Hoosier drags in the back.

They shave 68lbs off the front (over my current front wheel/tire combo) and the rears shave about 48lbs over my street rear wheels and about 10lbs over the ET Street OEM wheel combo I'd been using. Hopefully with the better tires and lighter weight I'll get .2 ET out of these

All together I've shaved 100lbs off the nose. ....and hopefully about .4 at the track

Cutting 1.5x 60ft times? Hopefully that too.

Sweet. That ought to get you there. The gears should help better than you think. I dropped 3 tenths just by going from 3.89's to 4.30's. Good luck!

you will have no probs running low low 11's now.. just get soe good air and 60 man!

my goal's anything below 11.25 with the TEA heads. I know the car feels very very strong now. Im getting ready to get that hawker battery to drop another 20 pounds off the front! Gotta do something cause i cant afford K members and I really dont wanna take the sway bar off

good luck

I hope so!! I've been doing 7000rpm clutch dumps and only cutting hi 1.6's at best.

Hopefully that'll all change
