Although we won't be able to prove it was you, I'm pretty sure that voids the claim and trash talking rights if YOU can't drive it to an 11-second pass. How much power are you putting down and what are the cam specs? Suspension setup? I'm assuming it's a fairly mild cam if you're only running a 3500 stall.
Never dyno'd, im guessing 360-370? The cam specs are 218/228, .525" lift 112 lsa...its basicly a sound mod.
Suspension is stock except for a phb. Its a really low effort build, built from used recycled parts. 
Mac mids, ls6 intake, UD pulley,used midwest stall nothing special really.

With 36X to the wheels, you're gonna need one ridiculous 60' if you're near stock weight, even with the auto, to come near an 11 second pass. I hope that car is steeply geared and you've got some wide, sticky tires.
Oh yeah, and what track do you run at? Elevation? DA is gonna play a huge part.

Thanks Ben. If anyone knows about getting ripped into and then 'seeing the light' I think that'd be you. 
Hell, even STopSIgn and I went at it when I first saw him post...now we swap txt msgs almost every week and consider both of you (and some others on here) my friends. Even if you do own an LT1, buy sell cars every week (chris) or run a sneaky little LS6 setup (Mani) and get poked fun at for being asian and owning a Gm. Even that one guy at band camp that owned a New edge gt after wanting an LS and went total Rainbow sticker with an S2k It's called the SRK crew.

So next Saturday if you don't post up a timeslip, we can assume you didn't hit the 11? You still need to post up though so Sarge knows how long to ban you for based on what you DID run.
What tires are you running and what gearing? Weight? With 36X to the wheels, you're gonna need one ridiculous 60' if you're near stock weight, even with the auto, to come near an 11 second pass. I hope that car is steeply geared and you've got some wide, sticky tires.

Running a 255 mickey radial, with 3.42's, and a race weight of 3350. Running in NH Elevation is 90' I think... pff in the bag!
yea definitely wouldnt run that time at SIR.

What did you trap on the 12.4 run? Same setup or has something changed?

Good elevation but the only thing you really have going for you is the weight - race weight or without driver? I personally don't see it happening on a stock suspension with the power you're probably making with that cam. My money is on you being banned by next weekend because you don't hit the time.

I personally don't see it happening on a stock suspension, 3.42s, those skinny radials and the power you're probably making with that cam. If I had to put money on it, mine would be on you being banned by next weekend because you don't hit the time. I could be wrong...but I guess we'll know in a little over a week.?
Save your money, your gonna need it when we run....

The 12.4 was on street tires, the best 60' I could get was 1.97. I had the tune fixed, it was shifting at 6k (6300 now,cam peaks at 6200) and was banging the limiter every shift. Trap was 112 and the car weighs 3350 with me in it, but should be a little lighter now. I removed the pass side airbag and put in a lightweight battery.
