Alright guys, I put the car up for the summer time, but in the next 2-3 months it's gonna start cooling down an I'm gonna b on the hunt for some 11's, I wanna go as deep as I can in the 11's, I know if I'd quit being a puss an launch the car at 6500 I can get a 1.5-1.6 60' car ran a 12.34 on a 1.80'

But I wanna squeak out at much power as I can, r the electric water pumps worth it? I see claims of 10 hp

Car is gonna b getting a full tubular front n coil over setup n will b removing passenger seat and rear seats for this year (ran full interior all last year)

What else can b done to gain power (bolt on wise/ tricks) I wish there was a way to run a short belt on it, I'd do that in a heart beat!

If I can get it to pull a 1.5 60' I'm hopping for 11.5-11.7 on motor, n spray the 75 n hopefully hit 10.99. Thanks Richard

Car has under drive pullies, I can't tell what kind but it has em... Ima b losing around 120-150 in weight so figure if I can gain another 10-15 wheel or more car should b a solid 113-114 trapper on motor.. Car will weigh close to 3300 with me in it this year I'm thinking... Maybe a tad over or under

I know what the say for the weight... They also say for every .1 off the 60' turns into .2 in the 1/4... Which if I could pull a 1.50-1.55 60' my car should/ would b a 11.8-11.9 car.. I know it's got 11's in it... I just want it to b well into the 11's, not just 11.99 or something

Also yes the car is dyno tuned, and when I launch its around 5-5500 rpm... Ima go higher this year once I get the rear housing bushings installed, axle tubes welded and torque boxes braced
