Ahmad, I was not there for the run, so I am not sure.
Steve, I am thinking if your mods were on a car that weighed what mine does, 3860lbs, it could have hit 9's. That is a 520lb difference, and it looks like 1/10 usually equates to 100lbs of lost weight.
One of my 11.0 runs, poor ZR1 tried to run me down but my lady would not have any part of it!

Okay, i'll play, but I'm not a smoking fast "E". A pretty fast SL though, judging from dragtimes.

Hey Guys
Just ran for the first time yesterday, track prep was very ordinary and also my driving.
11.92 @ 121mph
60ft 1.85
Headers
K&N Filters
Tune
MT drag radials 255/50/16 15psi
315kw@wheels
894Nm
What are your thoughts? Can I get some feedback?
Cheers

I guess then the next step is bigger burnout to get more heat in the tyres and lower the psi in the tyres?
I'd also like to run somewhere with better track prep.
Maybe swap from the MT to something else? Everyone over here runs MT streets.

Your psi sounds low to me. I have a similar setup and I run low 20s. Great trap with at low of psi though

I know there are more people modded around here. You don't have to be chasing records. We just want to see what you have and what works best on our cars.
Let's keep this going guys.

Can't wait to see what that monster can do this fall. Are you doing anything for the cooling side or just waiting to see what its like first?

You will be a lot happier with the gt30r series turbos. Quicker spool and still capable of 600hp each on kill. Quick spooling 1000hp capable v12
