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.
