Default Looking to get into the 10s before December. What will I need?

My current best is in my sig. I'd like to run a 10.99 before the season is done. What will I need? I'm thinking NOS...but how much will I need? My motor has 154k miles on the clock so I don't know how much more it will take.

The car is already flying. Which heads and cam do you have. And, how much gear?

Get that sixty ft down where it should be and you got 11.20s on motor easily with that mph. Won't take but a 100 shot and a clean pass and you'll have a solid 10.

PRC 5.3 heads and the T2 cam.

I don't know if I can get much better in the 60' with stock suspension and a 3700# weight.

I did net see what gear you have. However, you could go a lot more on the cam with a Fast 102 and add a matching gear. You might be able to sneak in. Or, a 100 shot would guarantee it of course.

I am likely going tweak my car for 11.50s N/A and then put a 100 shot on for 10 second glory passes. I don't want to add the cage and related safety equipment NHRA requires for faster than 11.50.

I was able to get a new best of 11.47 with 27" tires. I am currently running 4.10 gears so I'm hoping a switch to 26" tires will increase my mph, and getting me quicker ets...providing I get the same 60'.
