Congrats man. I don't think you need to spend $ on suspension for the 11s, a little seat time with good rubber will do it. Stock suspension provides good weight transfer IMO. And nice 60' with the street tires.

I was impressed with my car tho on my 12.8 pass i trapped at 114mph, but that 60' was 2.2 so that killed me there

if you want 11's do the phb, ta, and lca's (plus sticky tires of course). don't listen to these guys sayin you dont need it. you may be capable of 11s without, but your daily driving experience will be much improved and your 60' times will be much improved. the fact that you're in sub-2 sec 60' on non-sticky tire with the crappy stock rear 4-link is fantastic, imagine how much better you will get with a 3-link setup. the stock stuff is seriously limiting your potential

Odd times man... Your 1/8th mile trap is super super low. For a 1.8 60ft which is pretty solid on a stock suspension, and its not like you are going to be able to drop much more than maybe .1 or .2 seconds off of that. You obviously are getting solid power down on the last half of the track judging by the 32mph increase from the 1/8th trap to 1/4 trap. Just not sure why your 1/8th trap is so low... For reference my 1/8th trap is in the low 90's.

He is the other car on the timeslip.
He is trapping only a little low in the 1/8 due to his inability to get WOT early, but his gain on the back end is about right. With some DR's and a 60' in the 1.7 range, he will be high 11's.
Nice run on street tires!

Man, thanks for the correction. Although, going from 88mph to 110mph is only a 22mph increase which is actually pretty low. However, if he can get in the 1.7 range he is going to be low 12s. I doubt he will be able to hit 11's unless he is able to get into the high 1.5 low 1.6 range.
