From the list of those mods, definately looks like you have a potential low 11 second runner. However, this is the wrong forum for this question.

With traction, I don't think he's going to walk you. You've got a 7# pulley, in a lightened, converted A4?

He'd better be running, AND shifting, awfully well to show you HIS tail lights...

Let us know!

If you hook, you should be very low 11's if tuned properly. It should be a good race.

I am hoping this rain stops so I get to race tonight. I will post the results! I think I can hook better than him, I have seen him race on et streets and spin bad, let off then get back into it.

If I heat my et streets I sping about 1 foot!

Where are you 2 running at? Track or Street? That makes a big difference in what happens...IMO

highgmc

we ran last night, on the street.

I lost BAD! got a crappy start (he friend flagging us to go/ he starts going then I launched) but enough excuses, he still would have beaten me. The mustang is FAST! He says he thinks he is in the 10's! I don't doubt it. Lost by about 8 cars...

wonder if more boost and proper tuning with injectors would help?

You need to take your car to the track and see how it runs and some dyno tuning could help.

traction is what wins drag races.....did you spin much??? I imagine he didn't if he beat you that baddly.

highgmc

his friend flagged to go so fast I couldn't really heat the et streets (he heated his et streets!)

time for more boost, stage 2 GWP with tuning and injectors!

One not so secret of street racing is if you run mid 10's, you tell the world 11's. So on and so on. Never give away the cars potential. Another trick is to ease up on the big end if you have them covered. That will make them think they still may have a chance. Sounds like he is not telling you the truth about the car. Its probably alot faster than you think. Dead hooking on a hard launch is key. Work on hooking it up and make it as light as possible. Some wide band tuning would be good also.

What what I have seen, the difference 'tween a 12.9@114mph blower LS1 and a 11.3@122mph blower LS1 is the right combo of parts, tuning, and shift points. I'd dial that car in at the track or on a dyno.

highgmc

So do you think I have the right combination of suspension components?

hal front shocks and springs
hal rear shocks
spohn torque arm
rr airbag
bmr adj panhard
(soon) metco lca's tubular now
(soon) brr extreme rear sway bar NONE now
