Nope, you will have to try to break your trans to get into the 11's.

It took me a 100shot of nitrous to get down to 11.97@120, picked up 6 tenths and 10mph, but you do have a few more mods than I did. I don't think its enough to pick up 100hp though. I hope you are going to use slicks or a soft compound drag radial or your trans will for sure explode. Wheel hop is no joke.

Well than maybe a 50 or 75 shot should do the trick. I will be running some nice soft tires if I ever do take it to the track. I probably will only run it a handful of times because its supposed to be a driver so I dont need to be down from breaking a trans on a hard launch.

Justin is underestimating what that cam can give in a manual setup I think. If you can rev to the moon and still shift it fast, you might have a chance of getting a really low 12 out of it.

my engine is getting ready to be put back into the car when I get a chance.

I will be tuning it with my powrtuner
2.8/3.2/3.4 pulleys

Anyway, think I can get into the 11s if my trans holds together?



11 are my goal too and I just received my powrtuner. However, I am still waiting on access privilages from the Forum so I can get the software and start scanning. How long before they hook me up? I also have an Auto so i am NOT too worried about breaking my trans with my current power level. I Hope to be running 11's in about a Month or so just need to knock off 1.1 seconds.

BWAHAHAHA!!!

On a side note, I'm hoping to break into the 14's with my new 3.4 V6. But watching you guys screaming down the track almost makes that seem pointless.

I got a few tenths quicker. I broke BOTH axles on the next pass. Opps.

Both axles, without a LSD..... I think you just put that engineered LSD guy out of business.

I'm a little surprised that you're breaking axles, and not the transmission. Have you done anything special to that Getrag?

BTW, that's a really nice video... puts my video camera to shame.

I break axles every time out to the track. This time, the outer sheared off the driver side and the inner CV cup popped on the pass side. Transmission is just as it came out of the junkyard.

Here is an in car video from yesterday... This is on low boost, leaving off idle, just trying to get the fueling dialed in for 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. This camera died before I could get any of the faster runs in...
