You need Hp to get into the 11's and Hp costs money. Figure you are going to need at least the usual bolt ons and some drag tires to move yourself closer to that goal at a minimum. And if you have a MN6 be prepared to wear stuff out. Coming off the line at 5k plus RPM takes it toll on parts.

Z06 with bolt ons and some tires is a good way!

The Mod. Snowball

I've found out what a innocent catback system can lead to. I also mod. to save myself from any embarassment against everyday challengers that I may come up against on my way to work, lol. Anyway, if you can run eleven's, in the high 120's, it's rare to have anything around that could even hang on the open road and especially after 4800rpm with a 7000rpm rev. limiter. You might as well give them the ole' good-bye wave.

Bolt ons and alot of seat time. Or you can go in deeper and go with a head and cam package or just a mild shot.
