Quest for 11's hasn't ended just yet. One more track day, September 8th. I have couple things I want to change, including a trip to DB to rent some dyno time.

haha, Looks like some new tires are in order too ;)

I have seen this thing at wed night drags quite a bit the last two years.

What's the mod list?

Just like it says in the video, pretty much a 16g with some supporting mods. Stock motor, a very mild set of cams... FMIC and such. All boost.

I do need some stickier tires, but I'd rather spin than go through transmissions ;)

The trans usually hold up just fine. Its the rear axle's you got to worry about. ;)

Can we get more info on your setup?
i just posted on link. People need to put cities in their location. If you are running some higher boost 27+ you should be moving a bit quicker I'd think.

Almost! I'd focus on shifting faster, the 1-2 shift was pretty slow, 2-3 not much better, probably shave off 4 tenths right there.

Nice, your 1g bounces as much as mine on the launch :lol:

Stock, shot suspension will do that. I get those "compliments" quite often, too. One time, I actually lifted front tire on the launch, according to bystanders.
Shifting is somewhat slow due to shot clutch pedal assembly. If I slam the pedal down during quick shifts, it doesn't disengage the clutch right away, so I have to wait. Hence slower shifts.
Launch def. needs to be improved, I think I am gonna try from lower rpms (5k in that video)
I am not sure if I want to go and beat on the car some more to get into 11s, we will see. I still need something to drive this winter :)
