11's with bolt ons!
Well although the event didnt go as planned i had some very good runs including an 11 sec pass with bolt ons 
99 FRC stock motor, stock heads ect, stock trans
LG street LT's, x pipe, ti catback, vortex intake, ported TB, plugs wires therm. TEX clutch, DTE stg 3 diff with 4.10's, 275x40 MT et street radials.
1st pass bogged launch 12.38 @ 114mph with a 1.85 60'
2nd pass 12.16 @ 115 mph with a 1.78 60'
3rd pass 12.08 @ 115.0 mph with a 1.70 60'
getting closer changed some tire pressures and went back out.
4th pass
12.04 @ 115.2 mph with a 1.67
5th and final pass!
1.656 60' BEST
4.926 330'
7.651 et 1/8 BEST
88.89 mph 1/8 BEST
9.987 1000
11.93 1/4 et BEST
115.95 mph BEST
So finally 11's with bolt on's I was really excited and was not doing any more mods until i did.

It can be slipped...go out there and learn the clutch release/release point and work from there...be VERY smooth on the left foot and modulate the gas...dont let it bog or itll kill your 60ft...I did this last time out and found mine to be very slippable (PT Trim Twin) just gotta find that happy spot. The first 3 passes I made were at 3500 and the 60 kept getting better as I kept working with it...pass 4 i upped it to 4000 with the same technique and i pulled a 1.63 on my 10.93 at 128 pass HCI C5Z all of the lauches were super smooth/nothing violent like my first time out when i went out there ***** to the wall on my first 2 passes and sure enough it was so violent i broke my trans and diff on my 3rd pass

Congrats!! 
Sure is fun to brack into the 11's with a stick car.
For the longest time, Jon was the only m6 bolt-on guy there. Seems a few have joined him now.

As pit said that was without skinnies we were gonna try but there wasnt near enough time between passses I am running zr1 wheels out back with mt et street radials and chrome wagons up front so i am gonna try and buy some gto spares again. I had a set lined up a couple months back but had to back out. I am not sure on the DA, i know it was around 45-50 degrees and the humidity was 70 % at 10.30 am the track and its 242 feet above sea level

I launched around 4 grand with a quick release on the clutch and quick push on the go pedal. The launch felt relatively soft and non violent, i was surprised to see the 1.6x times, Thanks to all the tips
