Well, I just added pacesetter headers, prostars with MT dragradials... Also found a bad plug (cracked with ground strap broke- NOS). Last outing 12.36 at 110.. Think she'll make it in the 11's today? I'll post my times this afternoon....

Well, the best I managed yesterday was a 12.14 at 111> It was hot and humid. On a 100 dry shot a ran 11.15 at 121. So the combination of LT's and rear prostars with drag radials netted .2 reduction. My guess would be that the headers were worth .15 and the lighter rear rims were worth .5

Next up the lunati voddo cam and a 9" rear with 3.73-3.90's.

I was about to say you need gears to get there. once the 3.73's are in you'll be there for sure. Toss the cam into the equation and now we're talking about a 10 second car on the jug. Good luck.
