Default Lookin for 10's

Official best is an 11.76 at 113.6 mph three weeks ago. Since then, have gutted the MAF, ported intake manifold, removed swaybar, cleaned extremely dirty(black) air filter, replaced plugs, wires, and coil, and replaced bad IAT sensor. All I need is a retune as it is getting much more air and its actually sparking. Lookin for the 10 second club......

Any advise on what to do next to be sure I can reach the 10 second club this summer?

A 100hp N2O kit will do it.

I think I may be closer. Swapped out my convertor to a lower stall, topend pulls much harder. Still need the retune. All I want is a 10.999.

No chance my friend. You're going to need more power. Your ET is fantastic for your trap speed already.

Well, this might change your opinion. There is a road near me with a line painted on it that we use as a reference point for how our cars are running. My car, as it was when I ran the 11.7, crossed the line at roughly 114, keep in mind, this is only a reference, and it is longer than a quarter mile, and 114 on my car is more like 118-119 due to the 295-35-ZR18's on the car. As the car was just before replacing the old convertor, long after running the 11.7, crossed the line at roughly 116. As it stands now, on the new convertor, it crosses the line at just about 120, every time. That is almost 6mph faster than when it ran the 11.7, and this is all on street tires... I think I might hit 10.99999999 this year, I hope.

Oh yahh, and the motor should take spray, up to a 250 shot or so, as the rings are set up for it by Livernois Motorsports because I originally told them I was gonna juice it. But I don't think I wanna spray it, I like being able to say that its all motor, all the time. But if I ever get bored of it, which I probably will, bring on the N2O.

Keep in mind that trap speed is a calculation, not the actual mph you cross the traps at.

Very true, I was just using that as a reference, a relatively inaccurate reference, but nonetheless a reference.
