Default 11.72 @115mph title change needed.

Well I finally had a chance to get to the track after installing the strange rearend. I ran a 11.72 @115mph and running out of gear on the big end. My converter is only flashing to about 3100 rpm so it's coming out of the car and getting sent back to PTC to get set around 4200 rpm. As soon as Greg Welds makes there revisions on the new drag lites I will have the 28" tall Hoosier tires on and no more running out of gear!!!!!!! (Hopefully) I hope the new set converter and the 28" tall tires nets me the low 11's I was looking for. The car made 414rwhp (unlocked) and weighs 3420lbs. 11.0's or high 10's should be in sight. RIGHT? Heres a video of the run hope you enjoy..

I ran basically the same time with my car, full weight, c6 c06 wheels and street tires. I had to shift into 5th for about the last 300ft. 4.11 gears owned me. I have since bought some prostars and ET Drags. With those, I should be able to high tens.

Good luck with the upgrades, but running out of gear that close to the strip is not a big deal.
