Talking Ran an 11.81 last night.

Last night I put down an 11.81 @ 115mph with a 1.71 60ft time. I was running 15psi of boost. Im hoping to bring that down some. At the end of the night I ran a 118.79mph trap speed with a shitty launch so I think I can hopefully pull a mid 11. Watcha think?

Sorry, I can't see a 11.5 run at 118mph. If you can get a 1.5 60' time then yes, but that would be unbelievable.

1.71 is a great 60' time.

Then I guess I'll have to see what 17psi will do.

I thought it was a little high myself but the quality i perfect and he going to put in swing outs for me and its going to be welded to the chassis rather than bolted. All NHRA spec. to run to 9.99

1FastT2, thanks for the breakdown on your 1/4 mile times. Unfortunately I do not have a 1/4 mile track near me so I'm forced to live vicariously through others :-) I've always wondered if my car would be able to break into the 11's and judging by your runs, I'd come up a little short. I've had a best run of 7.7 but my mph was only 90. The stickiest tire I've ever run was a BFG drag, never slicks. Too scared I'll bust the rear end :-) Anyway, thanks for the data.

118mph, you could pull off a 11.30 or 40 with good driving and some tires.
