I'd like to get into the 11's. I have a MPH of 125 on a less than perfect pass (belt came off during the run) so I definitely think 11's are possible.

My real goal is not to break anything next season.

Cheers,

Mark

I will whittle down my ET from 10.3 to somewhere in the low to mid 9's hopefully pretty quickly.

I want 150mph but that might take a while. I want 150mph thru the mufflers, on whatever gas 110+.

10's. I was hoping to do it with Nittos but I don't think I can so I'm going to try BFG's (hope the 10 bolt holds). A 130+ trap would be nice too. I'm hoping to pick up maybe a # of boost by putting a Z06 MAF on the pressure side.

Well, i would love to see 10's and 11's but, since it says REALISTIC goals, I would like to see mid 13's. I am at 5300+ elevation and in college so not much money to work with!

10.5s with the Magna Charger (10.8s now, and being sent back to get pulley'd UP!)
9.999 with the NX kit added

Then the '69 is done. Mission accomplished. Take it on Power Tour.

Realistic goal for the blue car would be to have it racing by April. We'll see.

As long as I get my car back in 2006 and it runs, I will be happy. I would be VERY VERY happy if it pushes 1000hp and goes well into the 9's or faster.... But like I said, I really just want her home....
