Can I get into the 11s with 380RWHP and 121MPH trapspeeds???

[468LC]

I have gained 75HP over last season and I trying to get into the 11s on 17" tires.

My best last year was 12.45 @ 113MPH with the stock long block at 8 PSI.

My new combo is in my sig

My race weight calculated is around 3100 with me in it. Maybe less maybe more.

I had one run at my favorite track in march with the new combo where I ran the 12.35 and blew a headgasket(my fault) and coasted through the traps at 115.

I went to may least favorite track(read no traction at all) after the repairs and I could only run a 12.60 at 120.9 with a lousy no traction 2.1 60'.

I can usually 60' the car in the 1.85 range on 17" tires agian this is at my good track.

I think I can get into the 11.90s with her I just need to hook up.

What do you guys think of the traps speeds?

LOL I may end up putting in a 6pt roll bar just to put some more weight over the rear tires.

Any hints on how to do this? all opinions welcome.

My friend ran a 12.40 last year @ 107mph. his car is lightened and it has a K-member and coilovers. he cuts 1.70 60 foot everytime. with 14 more mph i'd say deep 11's are feasible.

A NOVI 1K guy on here does 121 and runs a 10.9 I think..

With a better driver, I bet you could run very low 11's or possibly a high 10:D . Maybe I should cruise up there and show ya how its done:bonk: :D :D .

BTW
I haven't seen or talked to the guy with the vette since he blew it up. He doesn't any of our phone calls or anything . If I see him out, I will get some pics for ya Steve.

Doug,

Did you get the ET Streets directly from Mickey Thompson??

I have been trying to get them but Ive had no luck.

How much where they??

Chuck,
He got them directly from MT, they are 30 minutes from here and he knows a couple of guys that work there.

Steve, do you still have the front swaybar attached? If so try yanking it for a trip to the track, not only will ya lose about 40 #'s off the nose, you'll transfer weight a bit better.
