with a little practice I could get some good numbers... only running 11psi too... maybe some DRs... up the shifts... and alot of practice and I''ll be in business

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->think I can get a better 60' without going to DRs?

110 MPH? That's flying. I think the ET matches about 103, though. Someone else here has a 12 second ride ON THE MOTOR (read N/A), I think...

Of course that was last November, not sure if he's gone faster since then. He's got one heck of an engine in that thing... can't wait to see it supercharged!

Well, even if you've got a heavily modded car, for a first outing, this is a great ET ! With practice and minor enhancement to your ride, 11's shouldn't be a problem.

His ET absolutely matches the 110 MPH especially with the centri. SC on that motor. That Paxton really poured on power once he launched hence high trap speed.
109mph is about 12.4-12.6 depending.
Cant get much better than 1.86 on Street tires.

Drag radials will make a big difference for you. With your setup and in the cool weather you should be able to make it into the high elevens when getting everything together:up:. Great, addicting rush isn't it?

Nice time, and I too think you should be able to get high 11's no problem.

It was quite a rush indeed. I think if I do get serious about this I will get DRs. I had changed to an 11psi pulley a couple months ago cuz the 15psi one I had was a pain and I didn't want to mess with it :burnout: I'm glad I did now, I had a hard enough time as it was! :lol: I'm proud of her though, she did well I just need to get better, then I can get out of this mild tune :D

I really think you are already there my friend....just get them (DR's) and get your rims widened. It looks meaner too. I drive with mine all the time on the street. But then again I do not have to worry about snow.

Does this mean you're taking your car down for sale and still plan on being a happy Marauderer? :)
