Default Almost 11's, with WS6 Convertible Stock Internals

I put on a set of Hoosiers QTP's 26x11.5x15, added a BMR Drag swaybar and built a custom mount for the BMR to tranny TQ-arm that now mounts the TQ-arm directly to the tranny cross brace. Also, did some suspension adjustments recommended by Madman.

WS6 Convertible with Bolt-ons and stock internals
Best run; 1.73 60's and 12.07 @ 113.99

Thanks guys and Madman for your input and recommendations.
11's should be just a good 60 away!

Coach,
This was my first time on slicks so I started out with 20psi in the tires, launching at 4,000 rpm and spun to 1.81 sixty 12.149 @ 114.27mph

Dropped pressure to 17.5, launched at 3,500, bogged to 1.84 12.28 @114.41

Dropped the pressure to 15, launched at 4,500, and spun to best run 1.73. sixty 12.07 @113.99

Final run, tires at 13.5, launched at 5,000 and bogged to 1.75 then missed 4th.

I was shifing at 6200 to 6300, Auto tap showed more closer to 6400

A little practice on dialing-in the 60's and I should get an 11sec. run

Thanks guys,
I think car has low 1.6's 60's in it.
I only had it out only once so far and need a few more runs to narrow down the setup to find the right comb (tire pressure, shock setting and launch RPM), I either bogged hard or spun.

Good Driving!

Yup, a little more work on those 60ft's and you'll see 11's!

Congrats!
