Default New best today.

Ran a 11.99@115 today with a few 12.12s. Finally broke the 11's with the little Hot cam Too bad though I got screwed from the track in the semis. I had a 12.20 dial on the car and they put 12.30 on the board. I didn't notice till I launched. I broke out with a 12.18 but the other guy brock out with a 11.13 on a 11.20 dial. If they had the proper time up I would have won :mad But I did get in the 11's

Just curious, do you have any flow numbers for those heads? I'm curious how they compare to mine but I'm afraid you'll kill me with your LT4. I did run 112 on stock heads.

I'm sure I don't have the gears for it either, but I'm just looking from some glimmer of hope!

Awesome times, and a beautiful car.

That isn't all it's got with the nice mph of nearly 118. There's a mid 11 in there..it's all in the "Hook".

Good job.

I think the car will run quicker also in better weather. But I don't want to get on the bad side of the track for no cage. And I won't put one in this car. The mods are done for now.....maybe :D I'm just thrilled to get the 11 with the HotCam. Most are close with it but I don't hear too many cracking out of the 12's with it. I think the car has a 11.8 in it under Ideal weather maybe a 11.7 but we'll see.
