Default In the low 12's!

So my car has been somewhat of a project, drive it 5000 miles a year on the street. Well this year I decided to go to the track and see what it will do.

This slip the only change was adjusting the reboud on the front and rear shocks, loosened it up and a gear change, 3.42 to 4.10.

The DA was about 1453. Tires were at 23.5 hot, Nitto 555r. The car is full weight with Air, heavy 17" rims.

I am going to go when its cooler and do the following;

Remove
- spare tire and jack
- rear seat
- front passenger seat
- Catback

Mods
- install lower portion of FTRA
- Short belt mod

This should get me into the 11.9 to 11.7 hopefully. Any suggestions welcome.

Get your 60' down and you should be in the lower 11's no problem... That 118mph is good for 11.30's or so

Yea that's an 11 second car all day. Don't worry about any more power mods, work on the 60' and getting it to hook.

Dial in the suspension, get rid of those 555R's and work on your launch.
