hit the track up
decided to see if the headers made any difference.I picked up 1.3 mph in the 1/8 and about 1 mph from my fastest time before headers.
ran 3 back to back to back runs with no cool down.It was also like 84 out with massive humidity

I love the consistency of stock boost,but not getting in the 11's is killing me.This was on street tires and the way I drive my car to work everyday.
172 pulley and kleemann tune should get me there

Thanks guys,hopefully Ill have a 172pulley on by that time and with some better weather I should see 11s but thats not always the case.
Im still 50/50 on either going with a 168 or a 172 pulley.
Thanks for the offer hammer,I have a set of M/T radials but I was too lazy to throw them on.
meth kit is also getting installed over the winter,I just dont feel like taking the supercharger off again,its my DD

At Sacramento, I trapped a high of 118.899 mph completely stock with stock air filters and charcoal filters in place and no weight reductions what so ever (yes I still had my spare and tools in the trunk). And yes I know that everybody questions Sacramento's trap speed due to the controversial beam distance thing, but even at Famoso I have trapped anywhere from 114 to 116 mph in different DA days.
Your car has (at least) 50 rwhp more than mine, so it definitely has the potential of running 11s, but it is only a matter of good weather and good track prep. I predict you'll run 11.7 @ 120 mph if weather cooperates this next time out

It's not only lower DA.... you need a low humidity day with cold air to trap high with a 63 unlike the 55s which seem to trap high even on hot days

It wasn't too great... I think 2.0 or so. That day was probably the best day of the year for drag racing.... my car trapped over 118 on every single pass and I think I ran 20+ times that day . Traction was not too great for street tires though.
I was only 0.2 mph away from your 119.2 record. Had we been able to run for 2 more hours that day (as we had planned before the Corvette guy screwed it up for us), I think I would've hit 119.5 mph and everyone else would've beat their records as well
At Famoso, the highest I trapped was 116.x mph and that was at a very good day with DA between -100 ft to +200 ft. On average, in a good day, my car traps 114 to 115 mph at Famoso.
