Default Lets run an 11, am I missing anything?

I have had a long standing goal of running an 11second pass, 11.9 would qualify. I think my setup is probably overkill with the exception of not having slicks and a 9". I want to make absolutely sure I run that 11 second pass the next time I am at the track. Old best was 12.1 @ 129 on my old cammed ls1 w/ spray on street tires.

Current setup: 404 ls2 ported l92s, huge cam, fast 102/102, m6 w/ good clutch, 3.42 10bolt, 275 nitto drag radials, some weight reduction, tubular rear suspension w/ lca relocation, sfcs, slp level 2 suspension, and airbag in rear pass spring.

I don't have my spray hooked up, but i think i should be able to run the 11 without it.

Any things to make sure of or tweak up?

If you don't run an eleven with that set up then there is something terribly wrong......or your 10 bolt grenaded!

With Slicks and a rearend with some gear you should be running 10's.
But driver is the most critical ingredient.

I'm running 275 Nitto's with my setup, and next to no traction, so I can only imagine your setup lol. Hey I see that you are in Macomb and Lansing. You ever pass through Howell?

You are missing tires but I don't think you will have a problem running 11s.

Help wanted.. need someone who can drive my m6 car. Im about the same, running in the low 120s around 12.1 and 2.3 60s. I was driving on nittos 555 and no traction and wheel hopping badly. Ive done a bunch of work this year and that's including slicks. I think you will like it and sounds like your car is a animal, good luck !
