Default Quest for Bolt-on 11s
Got a new project I'm going to start working on its a 2000 camaro SS 100% stock. It ran 13.27 @ 105 MPH DA was around 1100. Anyway plan is to get this into the 11s this October for low DA. Here is my list so far

1.) TSP lid
2.) ported T-body
3.) TSP 1 7/8s LTs
4.) TSP true duals
5.) TSP 25% UD pulley
6.) 15x3 and 15x10s with 26'' tall tires M/Ts
7.) Circle-D 4000-4200 triple disk
8.) front sway bar removed


any input please share thanks

My car has gone 11.99@113 with a smaller converter, smaller headers, no under drive pulley and stock 16 inch wheels on toyo drag radials in good air. You should be able to hit high 11's with those mods.

Do 28" mt drag radials, they will look much better, and you will never out grow them.

That would look good but it'll take away gear since I'm on 3.23s

get lightweight rims, and a braille battery can also knock off around 20-30 pounds.

Agreed with the others. I had a similar set up and used 16" rims and MT ET Streets along with BMR lower control arms and similar mods as you stated and same size stall (4000) and got an equivalent of a high 11 at higher altitude back in the day when I was bolt on only. I feel your on the right track.

Don't forget gears.

Also some Strano springs along with some Koni shocks, anti rollbar etc etc.

Wouldn't put Koni and Stranos on the car. Viking coilovers would be a better idea imo. And if you want Strano and Konis buy the Vikings for me and I'll give you mine lol.
