Default Trapping 117; Should Be in 11's Right?

Second night at the track in 6 years....on a brand new set up I had 2 runs before I torched the clutch:

1st run: 2.2 60' 12.7 at 117

2nd run: 2.09 60' 12.6 at 116 (hit limiter in 2nd)

I am going with a Spec 3 before racing it again. I should break into tht 11's with that trap right?

I'm thinking racing clutch + more practice with setup = 11.xx

Let me know if I'm off target here, mods in sig....

If you can get your 60' times down to 1.80 or quicker , you should be able to get into the 11's. Keep in mind , as your 60' time goes down you'll probably lose some MPH. 117 mph with a 2.0 60' in a full weight M6 F-body is NOT mid-11's. More like 11.7-11.8.

According to his web page it's an A4 with 3.73s and a converter. Not a good comparison at all.

Thanks for the input guys. I wait for the day when I am asked to leave the track for lack of a cage!
