your SIG shows:

Pacesetter LTs, Dynomax Bullet, UD Pulley, SLP lid, 3.73, SS3600 - 11.938 @ 114
I'm not calling BS, but those mods don't "usually" support a 11.938...

...I don't see any suspension mods on there, but u did state u have LCA reloc brackets, adj phr & springs.

...what dif/axles?

...is your car on a serious diet???

...whats your altitude

...any fuel/spark upgrades

...who tuned your car?

I don't think times like yours to be "average"...I'd say they're EXTREMELY good.

I just don't want newbies to expect to achieve times similar to yours with your listed mods.

Thanks for your cooperation buddy

Haha, Ok, I'll go into details for you.

Right, I didn't list suspension mods, only performance mods...but, my suspension is pretty much stock??

Adjustable panhard bar doesn't do anything but center the rearend after lowering the car...Eibach Sportline springs drop the car 2"...doesn't help much with weight transfer and the relocation brackets just help get it back to stock geometry.

Stock rearend with 3.73 gears.. My car is full weight. Not sure on altitude...whatever Memphis, TN is... stock engine tune, no spark/fuel adjustments. Only tuning that has been done is to adjust shift points for the aftermarket torque converter.

My car dynoed at 330rwhp/340rwtq on a DynoJet BEFORE my torque converter...which are known to cause a little drop in HP...so I'd guess I'm dynoing around 315-330rwhp right now.

Also, a friend of mine ran 11.89 @ 115 in a 6spd, same mods..he is on here...and another guy ran a 12.01 same mods, he is on here too but I can't remember his screenname.

The car is just like he says I have seen the car many times and it runs really good. The car has no aftermarket heads or cam in it still has the back seats and everything else except for maybe the AC.

Oh yes, I forgot about that...weight reductionssszzzz!!!!! I took the A/C out because I never use it and to clean up the engine bay. But I leave my spare/tire and jack in to compensate for that loss.

I guess you're right now that I look around. It's just I'm crossing the line at 108 mph with LS6 intake, PS's, loudmouth, and lid. I'm also still on stock stall and have 2.73's. I'd love for my car to run somewhat close to that et after I make the switch to 3.73's and a SS3600, but I'm sure low 12's will be where I end up. Your car just works damn good for your combo.

Have you ran at any other track?



(just an opinion)
I think the major difference for you MS guys has got to be the temp. out there...it would be extremely difficult to run those numbers here in TX with the listed mods...

But got-darn, those are some great numbers.

No, I've only run at Memphis... not sure where another 1/4 mile track is near me. I'd rather not drive that far when I have one 25 minutes from my house..hehehe

Traction is the key! I'm pulling 1.64 60s on motor, 1.52 on 100 shot. (and 17x11 replica ZR1s are NOT light at all...I bet if I had some Prostars I'd really be runnin'!)

Not excuses buddy, I didn't lose a race to you...
Personally, I just don't think that set up will run 11.93 in TX, but you did in TN and KUDOS to ya'.

Anyways, I just want to get all the facts to use as reference.

Could be that angle of the pic, but I dont think a downward slope would help braking...

Well as I stated, those r good numbers, but I wouldn't call them average.


jetlag said he pulls 1.64's 60' on motor...thats a big dif from your 1.84 60' - ur car must pull hella hard up top.


Looks like those 2002 Z28's were made tough!
