I'M IN...10's and 130+ Didn't expect all the good results today when I took the ole' show car to track today for some fun. Borrowed 2001WS6VERT's 275/40/17 MT Drag Radials to see If I could hook'em. Those things are awesome! My goal was to better the 11.43 at 127.8 mph I ran in the summer. I figured I could top that and maybe even break the 130 trap mark.
For those who don't know...the car has a W2W built 408 CU IN with a D1SC Procharger at about 13-14 PSI and a small shot of NOS to cool the charge. It's an M6
with a Spec Stage 3+ clutch I thrashed in at Midnight last night after I smoked the Cartek I had. Raceweight was about 3850 lbs. with me in the car. So it's pretty much a sled. Oh yea....and a 10 bolt 
!
Here's the details of the runs:
1st pass left at idle, ended up short on fuel in 3rd and 4th gear but the built proof W2W block held up.
11.64 @ 108mph (1.85 60')
2nd pass left at idle, had plenty of fuel and felt good.
10.99 @ 131 mph (1.73 60') I was high fiveing everyone in the pits!
3rd pass got greedy and left at 3500 rpms and...
11.17 @ 132 mph (1.85 60')
4th and final pass, uncapped my cut-outs, left at 3000 rpms and hauled the mail....
11.16 @ 135.6 mph
(1.76 60') It shook the tires a bit in first so my 330' was off from my 10 sec run otherwise this was another 10 in the bag.
Had a great time today and met my goals in one pass for the car. It could be very competitive if it was set-up for racing but I'm fine with these results especially when the real race car project is coming along nicely.

KP-That was only the third time it's really been to the track....It's hard not to run it down every once and awhile to my FIX 
J-when you gonna get that thing to the track? It has to be killing you. With your build up though you will kill your personal bests.
Tom-your right, I could not hardly believe it!
BlackZ93-Yes, but again it's a very small dry shot, trying to help the efficiencies of the restrictive twin IC's, it adds about 75hp.
Hellraiser-it's a 10 bolt, beefed up the best you can, Moser Axles, Racing Carrier, GM Superior Gears.
Everyone else...thanks for all the comments.

Sir, can I see your (NHRA) drivers license please? Now that your going 135+ you'll need to add 10 more points to your roll cage + you'll have to go shopping for some new clothes + there are a few other requirements.

Funny you bring that up. Spec recommends 400 break in miles (you probably know that). Since I was short on time, I drove it 75 miles that morning up shifting and down shifting as much as possible, even when I didn't need to. I figured that would excelerate the break in. Either way I was going to the track. It held perfectly. Any damage...who knows....who cars...I had fun!
