well i got to go out to the track last night i only got one pass in cuz i waited to the last minute to get in line then they close the lanes. it wasnt a good pass but it got a decent time. had to let off in second gear since the tires broke completly loose and the car hit redline but got back in it. i thknk this car def has some 119-120 traps speeds in it i took a short vid to but no host and you cannot see the time since i was unisnt a dig camera with mpeg tech i could not zoom in at all but you can hear the tires brake lose and second and you could herar the limiter briefly well here is the timeslip for those who would like to analyze it

i believe ther is a 11 sec pass in the car as it sits next week i will have the car setup for the track with weld wheels with slicks and skinnys up front the stock setup is holding me back big time! i remeber seing blufish on here ran low 11's at 119 with my mph and letting off tell me there is 11's as it sits with the excption of the crappy stock wheels and tires

thanks cant wait ill be on drag setup next week for sure i will probly be buying a new clutch next week as it will probly break but i hope i can get 1 good pass on stock clutch.
Insane trap speed, and great time, considering you lost major traction. I agree...this car can easily do low 12's or hi 11's. Damn, I need to get my car tuned for 8psi right away.

Fluidz said it right!! I've found that every .10 decrease in your 60 ft shows a corresponding .18 decrease in the total 1/4 time. I had a 11.72 pass that had a 1.70 60 ft ( MT ET Streets-not full slicks) . By my calculation on the above slip, a 1.70 60 ft. vs your 2.11 would decrease your time by about .72 putting you in the neighborhood of 11.8. All this is conjecture but the answer is definitely in the first 60 ft. I'm working on getting the 60 ft into the mid 1.5's to 1.6 with intermittent success. PM if your interested in more discussion.
OMG, I want your trap speed soooo bad, I am jealous. So you were running 8psi when you ran? What did you dyno @ 5.5 psi? Do you run the car @ 8psi daily or just when you want to murder somebody? Sorry for all the Q's I think your power/traps are very impressive.

stock rims and tires witht he exception of the 275-40-17 nitto drag radials that arnt worth a crap for traction imo of coarse

Yeah Nitto tires are the worst, if you want a good drag radial tire get BFG. Those are the best IMO, or full on slick of course...
Nice times considering their is room for improvement, and awesome trap speed!!
