Default shooting for 10's Cam Only??? THOUGHTS??

Well last year my best was 11.85 @ 116 w/ 1.56 60ft DA 4200 ft.
This was done on a stock t56 with a slipping spec 3. no grab..

Before i go out i will removed 50 - 100 lbs and install a proshifted and built
t56.... goal with that is 11.5... (tr224 cam)

Then i will be installing my new T rex cam, lightweight k-member, and a-arms.
and get a good tune... my goal is 10.99 cam only.. Does this sound within reason... thoughts and opinions..

I have also considered going with lexan all the way around.. Anyone know where to get a kit????

Car sees 95 percent track and 5 percent street...

Any thoughts, opinions or suggestions appreciated..

thanks
Dave

dont get the lexan there is plenty of things you can pull out for weight reduction...get 4.10's or 4.56's ..put the t rex in and slicks skinnys and go for the gusto...you do have all the bolt ons right

well the only thing that i could see stopping that car from hitting 10's is raceweight and driver ability. so if you're a good driver and you get that raceweight down i'd say you'd have no problem.

You might wanna get some better headers, those SLP are at the bottom of the totum pole as far as headers go. Pacesetters are good for the $$ or Kooks if you have the $$$. definatly get the 90/90 and pull some more weight out. whats your car weigh?
you don't need to go Lexan glass and pin on parts to be really light. i'm at 2960 w/ me in it and stock glass and body parts.
