Re: Quest for 11's (REDGAR)
Roger, not sure where you saw the 600' but different weather machines will read different DA's. I have seen this even with same brand machines. Mine was reading about 1800 feet before it broke so I am not sure how low it got at night but don't think it was as low as 600'.
IIRC, it was around 1900' durring the day, then dropped to 1500' for the pm event according to someone else's machine.

Re: Quest for 11's (REDGAR)
Redgar,
Here is a link to the weather at Englishtown (as close as i could get it)on 9-6-03.
http://www.wunderground.com/history/...LLALMANAC=KTTN
Now input those numbers (IE from the time you ran) into weather station on http://www.quarterjr.com/ and you'll get your D/A for that run. I used the 9:00 P.M. numbers.
This is always dead on with my weather station.

Re: Quest for 11's (C5JONNY)
I've run 11.92 in my '00 convertible with stock internals. Mods include -
Blackwing induction
SLP MAF
LS6 intake
CNC Stage 1 heads
B&B TriFlo headers
Corsa exhaust
Programming by Ed Wright
Vigilante 3000 stall converter
3.42 differential
ET was 11.92 @ 115.01 with a 1.70 60'
If I bring it back before the season is over I'll install a set of SLP 1.85 rockers, a Meziere electric water pump and ported TB. That should get it into the mid 11s with a stock cam.
You might have a problem at E-town if you don't have a cage.

Re: Quest for 11's (RWhite)
Excellent links Roger.
I have noticed on my weather station my I never match the weather from the internet sites so I always stick with my machine.
The weather machine you are using does not predict ET right? I presume you log the weather and then use its number to pop next to you times in a spreadsheet. I prefer the one with the ET prediction, one less thing for me to do. Needless to say I am back in the market for one cause my screwed up somehow and won't turn on.

Re: Quest for 11's (Face)
Hey, heads are a bolt on right? :)
I usually consider anything inside the block an internal part (cam and rotating assembly). I know what you mean though.

Re: Quest for 11's (C5JONNY)
There is at least a one tenth reduction in ET if you dump all that stereo stuff. :yesnod: I do believe you have the goods to run at least low 12's right now, as you have almost the same setup as Face and he is consistently in the very low 12s as is Artie.
If you say your driving skills are not up to par, how about letting me make a pass in your ride at the next ECS CC. I don't claim to be a "hot shoe" but sometimes I get "lucky" :)

Re: Quest for 11's (tbyrne)
From what I understand, once the valve covers are removed and any new parts are put in then she ain't stock no more.....If you replaced the heads the she definately is not stock....
