New PB 11.55 at 120.9MPH with LET 172mm Pulley and Tune

Had a chance to take the car to a track rental today and had a blast. Wasnt as cold as I was hoping for December as it was 55 degrees out during my runs. Videos below are of 11.55 and 11.57 runs. Most others were in the 11.5x-11.7x range. Again I am happy with the results especially since this is a Mail order tune!!

60' - 1.709
330' - 4.852
1/8 - 7.436
MPH - 94.48
1000 - 9.673
1/4 - 11.550
MPH - 120.90

And for those asking about the exhaust setup, it stock with removal of the secondary cats and resonator.

The trap speed seem kinda low thought. It should be around 125mph, right?

The trap is right where it should be with these given mods.
The ET is a quite the accomplishment. Proves the driver knows how to launch his car.

nope. 121 is good for just pulley/tune.

Mthis - no race gas this time...93 octane with half a bottle of Torco race additive.

And thanks for the comments guys, I was hoping to get into the 11.4X's which i think would have been possible if it was colder. Also, I went with the 172mm as I felt the 180mm was overkill. I wanted to show that the 172mm pulley is capable of putting up just as good times as the 180mm. Sometimes bigger isnt always better.

Loco - No cooling mods...stock pump and heat Exchanger

Wow. "Mild" pulley, tune, some minor exhaust work, and DRs... result, mid-11's.

Nice runs and thanks for the video. It's always good to see more and more 55K's getting into the mid-11's. Eat that!! other 4-door family sedans.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice runs. Amazing how fast and quick the 55 is.

NHRA may be in need of some rule changes. You go much quicker and you will only be doing one run, haha.

Very consistant runs
