Nah the claculators won't factor in tire growth. It's just using the numbers you punch in. You could obviously add how much you think the tire is gonna grow and be pretty close on the calculation.

Using a quality Tachometer or a good datalogging file will be a big benefit. IMO you can do just fine with a decent shift light and programming to where you want to make the shift. If you know your max RPM and where you want to shift (by data logging and taking in track data), you can basically live on the shift light.
Either way wont hurt you but it is weight and you save a few $$$ comparatively

The numbers are the numbers... I should be able to pick up atleast 2mph from weather and 2 from dropping weight.. so that might give you an indication of where I think I'm going... with that mph all it takes is a good clean run and im right at my goals..

Complacency is what keeps people slow.. just because mid 11's is pretty good doesn't mean I can't do better...

Pickin up mph from weight will depend on how much you drop, you know that of course lol, i think you could get 2mph.
And your car already runs good from the time and mph you posted.

I was pretty close to your setup about 2 years ago, still had the 10-bolt, stock gears, running on 17" dr's (but my 60' wasn't much better than yours), with about a 3550 RW. At the time I was running consistant 11.9's at 115. Then after all I've done since then I've only dropped a half second... could be slightly due to weather since there was about 1000' difference in the DA, but still.
I'm not at all saying you can't do it, I'm sure you will eventually. I just think it's going to be a lot more difficult than you think.

You might want to look at going a little more aggressive on the tune also. I dropped almost 2 tenths by switching to my tune from one I had done by a "pro" tuner around my area...

You'll no doubt be very fast when you finish your mods but I think you might be slightly underestimating how hard it's going to be to drop down to the 10's, that's over a full second which is a huge gap when you consider you won't be gaining much more power at all.

However, mid to low 11s this season or bust! And I don't think there us any reason that's not attainable... The only thing I look at from my runs is DA, raceweight and MPH and all that points to it not being far off...
