If you could manage to get the 60ft time down another 1/10th you would be breaking into the 11.9x range just from that improvement. Maybe experiment with different launch techniques ( raise or lower your footbrake rpms on launch and see what the converter likes). Try to let the car cool down between runs and you will probably gain slightly also. Your trap speed is close also, usually around 113 mph gets you into high 11s.

As "BODUKE"" said in your other thread, in the cooler fall air you will be close to your goal.

Good luck!

how much faster can I expect to go?

Also what psi do you recomend on 18" drag radials, I just left them at 20 psi.

20 PSI is good in DR's ive found in a car with 350-400 and an automatic. With a 1.6x sixty and 0-500 DA you should be around 11.80s.
