Default Guesses for Saturday track outing???

Well this might be the last race of the year here. Per plug readings I've gone to an AR 3911 (colder extended tip) gapped at .030" up from .024". New plug wires as I had burned through 3 with the old resistor plugs. Got the car aligned (was WAY out) and fixed up a new ram air intake setup pulling from both foglight openings. I've been stuck in the mid 6.90s in the 1/8 battling the first 60' but we've got a plan for that. I'm going to run at least a dozen times and the DA will be 3000 or less all day. Guesses??? Ran 10.97 at 121.8 in 3500' air before the latest changes.

Yea it's picking up alright! I really think there's 10 hp in a monoblade tb. I wanted that 10.79 pass so bad last night but spun to a 1.51 after going up a click on the fronts. I'd run two 1.47s with that extra click, but the track just wouldn't hold it
