Default 11.99 possible?

I am curios if i can pull an 11.99 with my setup. First my race weight with me in car is 3200lbs. Mods so far are lid,pacesetter lts,all free mods,spec stage 3,billet flywheel,ram adjustable master,new gm slave,ws6 short stick,sphon solid motor mounts,prothane t-mount. Next is 4.30 gears and 27 inch hoosier slicks. i will be running 18'' extensions off headers no mufflers and i have no ac or ps so i did the short belt mod also my car is a 2000ss m6

Depends on the mph you run, if you make enough mph then it is just a chassis tuning deal. If you run 106 mph you're not going to run 11's, if you run more mph then you'll have an idea combined with the 60ft what that cars full potential will be.

With the mods you have, and the gears, weight your car is and with the tires you're going to run assuming everything is working right I would say it should break 11.99

I think you could get away with running a 26" tire, but if you're going to run a 4.30 and don't have a cam I think the 27" would help so you don't run out of gear.

i am going for the same goal with my car. anything is possible but i think you will need a little more work. i'm runnin consistent 12.7's with 4.11's, m/t et radials, and open LT's on my m6. my car probably weighs more than 3,200lbs with a 9" being heavier, but not a lot more. i know your probably think i just don't know how to drive or my car is slow but i pulled a 12.9@111 out of it when it was stock and consistent 13.0's. i think you should do better with the slicks because i had a problem with my radials not hooking up until the end of 1st gear. i was getting perfect shifts every time and passing the line at 5,900 to 6,000rpm in 4th gear every time. i'm about to through an f-14 cam, fast 92/92, and a couple other things and keep my fingers crossed for high 11's

111 mph is would be close to the 11.99 depending on how good the car hooks. If you added a cam and got the chassis to work right and had the right gears it would go much faster than 11.99.
