11's or not??????
I have the Halltech Tric, Yank 3200, FLP no cats with Borla, ED Wright Tuning. My last 1/4 12.17 at 110 mph on a 60' day. With the LS6 intake and some cooler weather do you think 11's are posible??????? :cool:

I remember being stuck in the low 12's for a long time..being so close and so far away is very frustrating. Anything is possible..:rolleyes:.. but from your mods ..I would say 11's are unlikely .. You asked.. :yesnod:
With an agressive cam , headers and some Drag radials or E.T streets..You have better chance...Good Luck:D

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
if u did that in a 60 degree day then i do believe it may be possible on a colder night. mikie c did it with bolt-ons only on a cool night but his mph is slightly higher. tweak tuning will probably get u there and a good weather night. u have no idea how much cool air can help u!!

YOur close but big jump to knock off those two tenths to see the 11s consistently.
You need two simple things for an 11 sec something C5 street car.
A decent cam and headers. Something like MTI C2 cam or THunder Racings 224/224 cam along with TPIS headers and you will be well into the 11s.
Best of luCK! :cheers:

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
Maybe if you get the CCW setup you may have a shot at it just from the slight weight reduction and the slightly better traction you will get. The ccws should give a car like yours a short time in the mid 1.6s but like the others have said you pretty much pushed your car to the limit.

His times and MPH show you how much drag radials can cut off your ET. 12.17 @ 110 proves that.
These are my two favorite cams. MTI is running a special on their cams through september. I want to say around 695 for cam and ALL supporting parts.

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
An MTI Stealth cam, or if you wanted to get a little more radical :) , then you could try the LG G5X2 cam, and of course tuning. This cam seems to make a very good amount of power. Then put some FLP headers, and get some traction, and you're there! Your times now, with the mods that you have, is impressive though! Good Luck to you!

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
RWhite did it in perfect race weather with about the same mods.Ls1edit tuning instead of Ed wright would improve that mph. I would say 12.0s but it could happen.The 60ft is going to be the difference. You need to squeeze a high 1.6+ . :thumbs: :iagree:

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
absolutely it's possible....just head down to HRP in November after a cold-front and it WILL HAPPEN. :smash:
and of course, the CCW skinny/et street setup would guaranty it IMO. :steering:

Re: 11's or not?????? (bbjohn97)
Negative D/A is what you need first off.
But your mph does seem a little low right now if that is what you ran on a 60’ day.
My car would mph @ 112 all day long in 60’ air. And my trip into the 11’s with that set-up was a perfect run. And was an 11second run by the smallest of margins. 11.99.
IMHO I think you need some more power to see 11’s but sounds like you have found a sweet set-up.
