Just like i said, keep practiceing with what you have, you'll start seeing 13.3s, maybe even 13.2s, your MPH is good for a 12 second pass, but you'll need 1.8s for that, go back & get that 13.3

Good run! Definitely pick up some drag radials. You'll be seeing some low 13 second passes for sure!

Nice! The 60' always seems like a bitch, best I ran on the stock motor/bolt ons/4.10s was 13.5@104mph.

I like my 4.10s a lot, they make a bunch of noise though, and well don't really assist in traction in the lower gears on street tires, that's for sure.

After installing mine & shelling out 2300.00 for a 9" (thats the best & only way to go IMHO) i wish i would have left the 3.42s & 10 bolt in, not that i'm not satified, i am, but mainly because i know i have a much better rear, the 4.11s are nice, but not a "shocker" of a difference, just remember, your 24+" tires aren't going to hold well with 4.11s (in any rear), you'll brow them loose very easy, the only way you'll keep that snappy feeling is sticking with a 24" tire, i stepped up to a 26" & felt the loss right away, i don't even know if they make a DR for a 17-18" thats 24"s tall, if you step up to a 26" or taller, get 4.30s,but then you can rule out adding any nitrous unless you stick to the 1/8 mile, when i went from the 3.42s to the 4.11s it was indeed noticeable when i stayed with the 255/45/17s, they were 24.4"s tall, but then i installed some 255/50/16s hoosier DRs, they are 26.4" tall, it damn near felt like i went back to 3.42s, i only gained .2 tenths, MPH stayed the same, the funny thing is, i ran a 13.79 on a 2.17 60ft. with the 3.42s, then ran a 13.55 on a 2.00 with the 4.11s, now amagin if i had ran a 2.00 with the 3.42s (which you did), then what would i have ran, most likely 13.5s lol, so don't exspect a huge gain, you'll feel it in the lower gears, but you'll be shifting faster also, i've heard claims of .5 tenths & better from a gear change (talking M6 cars), i'm not buying it, i've talked with a few guys at my track that made the change, they were claiming .2 at best, & this was still useing the 10 bolt unless other things were changed in the process resalting in a lower ET, if some have dropped more then 1/2 second from 3.42s too 4.11s with nothing else done, then they got lucky (but i'm still not convinced), just remember, a 3.42 gear with are short tires is nothing to puke over, thats a decent gear with such a little tire, the A4 guys have it rough if there running 2.73s, when they jump to 3.73s, thats a big jump & the benifits are there, you will really notice that, but in the long run, when you talk about putting gears behind the M6 in the 10 bolts, its just a waiste of money, with any decent street tire & hard launches, your on barrowed time, with a set of good DRs like MTs or Hoosiers, your asking for trouble, who wants to "truely" hook up & then have to baby it so not to snap something, thats just going backwards, if you have a stock clutch on DRs, sure that will help (because it'll slip), whos wants that either, it'll be toast soon, so bottom line, stay with the stock gears & have fun ( hell, throw 100 shot at it), or invest in a 9" & custom driveshaft/torgue arm. This is just from my exsperience, if i was in your shoes (knowing what i know now), iwould buy a NX kit from Nitrous outlet, throw some decent DRs on it or Nittos, run a 100 shot with a "tune", go scavage the bone yards for some 3.42 10 bolts & buy a couple for spares, then go run some bottom 12s @ well over 110 MPH, because it WILL do it .

Why not nittos???? I have run them on 3 cars and they hook a ***** with a good burnout and are the best DRs for street driving and handeling
My car went 13.32 on a 1.9 60ft. No spin at all!!!!!!!!!! Cat back on Nittos

They do get the best mileage I'll give em that. It's just what I've seen at the track. A friend of mine has them as his street tires and he can't get them to hook on the street or track. His best 60 on Nittos was 1.8 so I said try mine, we swapped them out at the track. His 1st run was 1.68 and I could only get high 1.8. This is all moot though since op said he wasnt going to track.

I'd run the BFGs before the Nittos on a dd.

If you stay with a 100 shot with the stock tune, you should be fine on 93 octane, you can always run a small mix 75%/25% of 93/105 octane to be safe, just make sure you use the unleaded race gas, if you get a tune, it'll automatically take timing out @ WOT, even N/A, so if you don't want that, either use a mix (when running the nitrous), or you can get a timing retard box like the Mallory 685. I have heard of people running a 100 shot on stock tunes & 93 with no issues, also, you'll want a colder plug like the TR6.

I hear that, I'm also jobless. I sold a door off the third gen I was parting out so I'm not feeling as guilty about going. I probably wouldn't if I lived closer to OSW anyway, but all tracks are equidistant to me.
