I did it tonight. New drag tune from Shaun, cats deleted (but stock mufflers courtesy of Turbosixx). I went 11.96 @ 114.74. 60 Foot was a 1.67. I launched at 5,000 rpm on 26 inch M&H Racemasters. Started the night at 12.3, then 12.0 and finally cracked the 11's and called it a night.

I "think" I may have the quickest N/A 3.31 car out there. Not sure, but I am pumped! Stock airbox, stock intake, Pypes 3 inch X, Jeg's cat deletes, resonators deleted, UMI LCAs and brackets, M&H Racemasters on Race Stars and kickass tune by Shaun of AED.

My goal is 11.5's on the 3.31s. I guess I need to shed weight.

I had a new tune that Shaun sent me on Sunday. New drag tune.

Thanks for all of the kudos, guys...I am really pumped.

Now, do I keep plugging with these 3.31s, or finally give it up and go 3.55.? With the 26 inch tires I am at around 3.42 in terms of gear. I really don't see the 3.55s doing much...but you never know.

Gearing for trap RPM at this point can help. What RPM are you going thru the traps at? Ideal for this car is 6800-7200 IMO.

Yeah? Let's not forget that Shaun picked up 3 tenths and something like 2 mph when he went down to 3.55s from 3.73s. Unless I have a Boss intake and I am spinning the motor to 7500, I don't see how 3.90s are going to benefit me. I will have to make that 5th gear shift.

I am going to have to look next time I get down there. I always forget as I am concentrating on keeping this thing straight with Jell-0 tires at 15.5 psi. :dw:

I will run a calculation and that should tell me.
