Default TSP 231/237=118.54 mph

Well I went to the track on Sunday and I got a new best. I ran a 11.85 @ 118.54 mph. My car weighed in at about 3,490 with me in it. I had a 1.69 60 ft. on that run which I bogged a little. Then I launched a little higher on the next pass and cut a 1.67. Which is my new best 60 ft. Anyways I missed 3rd. on that run. I'm hopeing next year when I get some skinnies and some more suspension and a little less weight I'll be able to go 11.50-60's.

Yea thats the tires and I had them at 13 psi. The track was hooking better then it ever has for me. Hopefully I can get my airbag this week and hopefully try to go again this weekend.

I'm thinking that if I could only cut a 1.7xxx (DR's) and shift at 6700 instead of 6400, I'd break into 11's (currently at 12.19).

27x11.5? on a 15'?
Im hooking 1.5 on those!!
Try droping to 10-11 psi. that works best for me. a little walk, but not bad. they also like a lot of heat!
Nice times. you hook a bit better and the car will go 11.5's the way it sits.
Good luck.

What gears are you running? It is a 12 bolt, right?
