NEW PB Today at GLD

Took the beast out to GLD today and got a new personal best of 11.49 at 117.63mph 1.63 60ft. This was my best 60ft of the day, I still need more practice!! It felt like I could have launched even harder than I was. I was stalling at about 1500rpm and the tires were grabbing all day. Timing is everything between letting off the brake and stabbing the throttle!!

It was actually a hot lap from my first lap of the day, I think that's why the MPH is down. My best MPH of the day was 120.5. I had a pair of 215/45R18's up front for a skinnier tire but they actually had some bad cupping on them and think they may have slowed me down a bit, noisier than hell!!!. Posting a video of a 11.59 run because the fastest run didn't get recorded because my dad forgot to open the lens cover. Oh well I do have a picture of the time slip. I have a needwings, with bigger filters, CAI coming soon so I will go back out once its in and let you guys know if there are any improvements with it.

Sig updated, 61 degrees outside, dragtimes calaculated 859 DA. BTW with the trunk tank full of ice I started with AIT's at 41 and were only at 75 by the end of the runs!! I know shes got more in her, I just gotta get it all put together on my end with the start and be a little more patient. I think if I would have waited in between runs and had the 1.63 60ft with my best trap speed of 120.5 mph I would have seen 11.3 ish, get her in the 1.5 60's and that's gotta be in the 11.1-2's
