What was your MPH? Even in bad air the 427RWHP should run 11's all day long with a 1.7 60'

Dude if u ran 12.30 in this air (+2500) your doing fine.

1st.That setup needs more verter but I can tell u dont want a full blow race car so your leaving alitte bit on the table.

2nd.The shift points can really play havoc on your ET,Get Julio to adjust them at the track.

3rd.I assume u are running on DR's and stock wheels which means your car is HEAVY.

IMO,To run 11.70's all it'll take is a cutout and a realistic DA (+500).
This weather is killing us NA boys

Just make sure your shift points are set properly.

Dont worry about the ET Streets.
You wont need them for a 11.7 pass,Just stick with the DR's at 18lbs and getem good and hot.

JS, Thanks
Your coorect, Nittos on stock wheels
Left a lil on the table with the tight 3500 w/ 2.5 str
MPH was 111 the other day, 114 before the verter, gears and tranny. Probably all air and more traction that caused that.
I will have Julio do a track side adj if we can work it out... they are flexable.

Nittos are okay from a roll 20-30, I have 315 nitto`s on 17x11`s. But from a stop no way. I smoke them pretty good. I just got my E/T`s so I can`t wait! N/A at the track was soft take offs. I sprayed once. No traction at all!!!!!!on nitto`s

Thanks for the input guys. Traction did not seem to be a huge problem, but still an issue as I have about 5-8 feet of spin on launch and at the 1-2 shift I get a good chirp. If the retune (shift points) doesnt do it Im heading a different direction ...perhaps ATI or Turbo. Want those mid 11's, in street trim no less.
