Times inside-opinions wanted.
I really thought I'd be running faster than this. I know dropping my 60' another tenth would get me down to an 11.4 or so. Here's my slip.
60'-1.636
330'-4.796
660'-7.420 @93.74mph
1000'-9.682
1320'-11.576 @119.42
I've seen other guys with a similar 60 and mph pulling 11.1's. How does my 1/8th time look? I'm wondering if I'm loosing time in the middle of the track somewhere, or do my times look about right and I'm just not thinking straight.
Any opinions?

I'd say you're loosing time early in the run and backhalfing good. My non-aerodynamic Nova has run 11.12 at 119 and change in good air, and the split times are 1.542 60 foot, 7.06 at 96 mph 1/8 mile.

The car is 3825lbs. with me in it.
The more I'm looking around it seems that I'm about right for being a 6-speed. The guys who are out e.t'ing me are mostly auto's.
The DA was also 2200 on that day so I might just wait for some good air before trying for some low 11's

Dude your car is running for that weight and DA plus a manual trans. I would lose some weight if you want the car to go faster until then you should be happy with those times. Nice run BTW

looks like a killer run for the weight..I'd be happy w it..I'd venture that you're powershifting as well..I've got a lighter car that runs the same time but prolly making less power

thnx..like my toys..if you're not powershifting, I want to ride in that car cause it sounds quick. I powershift every run on the stock trans making over 400 hp leaving the line about 6 grand..granite thats stock suspension so its still not dead hooking..but has held up for 2 years so far..220k is a bit much though..I would be apprehensive too
