Default Will this be enough to hit 11's? 98 FBO T/A

The car has went a 12.7 at 108.5 MPH spinning. It only pulled a 2.02 60 foot thanks to my shitty Nitto 555'r DR's. Mods at the time were a SLP lid, ported TB, LS6 intake, TSP 1 3/4 Lt's, TSP Y pipe and a dynomax bullet, as well as a Yank 3400 and 3.42's with a street tune. Since then the only thing I've added is the Speed Engineering out the back true duals I'm about to add a 98mm Fast toys lid, 85mm MAF, Underdrive pulley, FTRA, and a Fast 102 and 102 TB as well as some Mickey Thompsons. So what do you guys think? I'm thinking it could have went a 12.2-12.3 before if it would have hooked. Are the new mods going to be able to get it in the 11's?

Absolutely, if that 60' was around 1.7x your last outing you would of been looking at around a 12.1-12.2 time slip

Well, it's actually kind of embarrassing to tell but that same night the car pulled a 1.67 on the Nittos but I messed up and left it in 1st gear for the burnout. I forgot to it take it out of first so it wouldnt shift into 2nd on it's own. **** happens I guess.

With good weather, a good sixty foot, and a good tune I think you will be right on the edge of getting your 11

Hopefully so. I have a set of PRC heads and a cam for it. But I know with 100 or so more RWHP I'll be needing a new transmission and rearend pretty soon so I'm going to hold off for just a little while.

Your current mods are very similar to my stalled a4 car that went 12.1 @112 on a 1.76 60 foot.

Your nittos will hook you just need to get them very hot , ensure your pressures are still down in the mid teens after your passes , and pull your front sway bar , if it still isn't hooking I put my tools and floor jack in the trunk and that did it !


your planned extra mods will surely make it capable of top 11's in good weather etc..

My car is similar to yours and I ran 12.32@110 on a 1.68 60' Friday night. I believe if you could cut that 1.67 again you'd be right where I'm at. The added upgrades should be real close
