Made it into 11's

BACKGROUND: Car is a 99 formula WS-6 I bought from a guy on here April of last year. It's a full weight 6 speed car with a sub in the trunk. I was told it makes ~425rwhp but hadn't been too sure about that until yesterday. It's got LS6 intake, unknown spec cam, 862 heads i was told "had some work", a bunch of other bolt on mods (fuel, suspension, 12 bolt), as well as a really nice NO wet plate system. Been alot of :bang: the last 18 months with little issues like broken ring gear, chasing fuel pump relays, torque arm, alternator, clutch, so much it really was getting frustrating. Bought a nice tilt trailer this spring and I finaly got it to the track 6 times this year for a total of probably 50 passes. Been struggling to launch on ET street radials so I took the plunge and picked up a set of bias ply slicks and front runners before the last track day of the year

previous best 1/8 on 275 radials and front 17's was 1.69 7.68@91.81
1/4 mile yesterday on the slicks car ran VERY consistent high 11's@119mph all day. With 15psi in the rears I kept raising the 2 step every run and it bogged all the way up to 5500... final run dumped the clutch at 6k and ran 1.59 11.65@119

Still haven't sprayed the car bc i was trying to get a good N/A baseline before jumping into the nitrous. I really feel like it ran great and I'm really excited to turn it loose on a 100 shot in the spring

Nice runs. Congrats on 11's. Do you think 100 shot will get you high 10's or will that be pushing it a little?

I think it's possible, if everything falls into place just right. It's gonna take a low 1.5x maybe even 1.4x to get there though, but i would love to see it... if not, i know 150 will do it

With that mph you still have some et left to gain on just motor. It will definitely be 10's on spray. It should be mid 10's on spray. Nice runs BTW

Thanks man, i hope you're right about the et gain. Would love to clip lower 11's on the motor

You will. You only had that one pass where you didn't bog you said. Get some launches in when your track opens back and you can slowly work that 60' down and see what the car likes. Testing, testing, testing.

After watching the video a few hundred times, it still seemed to bog even at 6k. I'll see if i can upload the video somewhere

Thank you for the video! Always fun to see the cars run from this POV. It is one thing to read about performance, and another to see it hahaha. Good work on the times!
