Only made 2 passes today, but I got my damn 11..And with the 1.88 60 ft., there is more E.T. in it..I had to heat up the Nitto's for a good 8-10 seconds, andit hooked pretty good. Thanks again Steve for your killer track support and Nascar style of helping me change the fronts, lol..I am still a little stumped about my MPH though..I ran a 12.04 @ 115.65 at LVD with a 1.87 60 ft..Since then I put in a 3.48 pulley, picked up about 21 whp, and my 60 ft. today was a 1.88, and I ran a 11.84 @ 115...I am stumped.The only thing I can think of is the 2 tenths better in ET was from the better torque curve with the pulley swap and the lighter front wheels..I dunno

The 1/8th mile mph the same as the previous best? Congrats though

This time it was a 7.63 @ 92.20..Previous best it was a 7.73 @ 90.59..So ya, it picked up 2.4 mph in the 1/8th, and 1/10th..

So proud of you bro!!! Glad I could help. Getting you into the grove on a very sticky track was the key. And making those nittos stick was what you needed. Next time its mid 11s!!! Any time you want to use my slicks and skinnies, just let me know bro.

Thanks, but it was one of the slower ones there today, lol..

Ya, a fucking year and a half!! Today, there were no excuses..The weather was great, the track prep was great, my car ran great with the new pulley..Except for the 2-3 shift bouncing off the limiter, everything was on my launch today. Steve got me in the groove prefectly on my second pass..The rest was up to me finding the right rpm to leave at with the foot brake..But I know the car with its current set-up has an 11.60-11.70 in it..I just have to do it..

Outstanding! Welcome to the 11 second club! Looks like it was all in your short times as your 1/8 mile ET was a tenth quicker. Must be more torque down low. Get that 60' down a bit and you'll see the 11.60's and 11.70's before too long.
