Default Finally got her to hook

I'm stoked, about 2 weeks ago I scored some weld prostars w/ some ET streets (bias-ply) on a trade. First time on them tonight, went 11.770 @ 118.67 with a 1.778 60'.
The car is cam, full exhaust, spooled 9in and a 100 shot. I know she's not the fastest thing around but I have been tryin to get 11s for some time now, and I knew once I could get a half way decent 60' she'd be there. There is probably some more left in her and my goal is 11.5 on the current setup.

EDIT: here's the slip (left lane)-

What tires were you running before? Also what gears are you running?

I was running 275 Nitto drag radials an I couldn't get them to hook for ****, I am currently running 3.50 gears. My current setup would probably do even better with a steeper gear but I plan on spraying it a lot more in the future and I will make the change then, if necessary.

Congrats Bobby. I've never had any luck with Nittos either.

Thank you sir, did you get the issues with your 12 bolt sorted out yet?
