Finally got her to goo
Thanks to Eurocharged for the tuning, and Jawanda Motosports

11.65@123.16 1.74 60'

If I can get 60' down to 1.6x could I break 11.40?

Not bad.. Motorkas has basically the same set up as you (he had 168 pulley, Kleemann headers and tune) and his best was somewhere around a 11.2, so you might have some room for improvement.. With a bigger TB you would have a very low 11 second car!

Stout run!
The general rule is every 1/10 off your 60ft reduces your ET by 2/10s. So, yes, you could make it.

Nice run, awesome trap with a 168 pulley too. Need one of those instead of the fire breather 178 I have. Well, or a stock one and Weistec up top if they quit fooling around.

Nice run and MPH! Shave 1/10 off your 60ft and that usually will net you 2/10 off your final ET. If you can run at another 1000 feet lower DA, could be worth another 1/10 off.

Did you take the DA for the run?

If you fill out all of the info, you can find out what the DA was during your runs.
