I'm sure the time spent on ported exhaust manifolds, 3lb clutch, and other similar items you always conveniently fail to mention helped

Gotta feel good hitting 11s. I know a guy with a full tubular 2003 cobro cammed with ported stock blower making 525 wheel and it can't touch 11s.

Driver is obviously a factor. But non the less 11s isn't easy

Im happy the way it sits...Im a heavy drive at almost 290. I would love a 11.4ish. With lighter driver it should see 11.2-3 with a good launch....alos im on 3.31 gears too lol

No it was a m6 car. I was shifting slow as **** too cause they had nicked up the gearbox earlier. Car more than likely had a 11.8 in it at 117 or 118 with quicker shifts. No doubt quicker even with out having to limp dick the launch on a 10 bolt.

I thought maybe you ran it open headers or x. I was way loud in the vid.
