ran 11.3 @123 Heads/cam PT4200 and 80 hp nitrous. I was having a bunch of issues as always, though. For some reason, the nitrous didn't seem like it was adding very much power for one thing. Not sure what was going on there yet. I didn't start spraying until about when 2nd gear hit due to traction. traction was terrible. I couldn't hook for anything launching NA. 60' was 1.76 on the 11.3 run, most were in the 1.8x range. 
This was on 26x11.5 et streets. My car was insanely heavy yesterday, too. No weight reduction mods. Then you add some weight for the nitrous, 180 lbs for me and I had a full tank of gas.
I did manage to hit 100 mph in the 1/8 mile, which was one of my goals. 10s should be just around the corner. I've got to go the other track where the car hooks better. I want to get some ET drags, bump the nitrous up to 125 hp then go to the other track and launch on the bottle.

It looks like you have some issues according to your mph and times. That 60ft is not to good either , That track must bite for traction, what kinda heads and cam do you have and gear ratio, My car being 3533 with me in it pulls low 1.6s not leaving at full throttle with 26 by 10.5 ET streets. I dont think with that PT4200 you will get the full effect of the nitrous, Either way im sure you will work it all out.
you should be running 10s easily - just work out the traction issues, esp coming out all motor you should be pulling low 1.6 no sweat just off of idle. good luck. dont ya just hating racing in real life. the internet makes 1.5 wheel standing launches and perfect shifts seem normal. lol

I was out at lapeer, and I never hook there. I usually race at stanton on Wednesday nights. I wasn't even planning on going racing Sunday, I just kinda went out to lapeer for the heck of it. I'm sure I'll run better at stanton.
I went Stanton saturday with Gramps truck. I was having issues with 60ft's but not because of traction. They were doing a beutiful prep job laying down the VHT pretty heavy. Gramps truck would not come out hard enough with the 3000 conv. Ran 12.130@115.63. In a S-10 BTW. You could have pulled really ahrd out of the hole there. There was a black heads and cam WS6 runnin 11.1@121 on the 150 shot, he was a M6 also. Maybe I will se ya at Stanton when you hit tens. I plan on hittin Gramps with 200 soon.
