My 97 went 11.68 and ran a few 11.80s on Hoosiers, 4.30s, intake/exhaust, some weight reduction (weighed about 3100 at the time), and a 150 shot.

Car has 160k and is still going strong. It could break on the first pass, and it could keep right on going for years (mine has).

I don't like spraying too much in 4th gear, it seems like a lot of load on the engine.


My car is setup for autocross now so it wouldn't run 11s today.

 

[98 svt]

• Al Papitto prepared 284 cid DOHC

• Modmax Flattop Pistons

• Modmax Rods

That is definitely not a stock bottom end.
