Default First time to the track... 11.6's at 117 mph w/ Edel E-force

Finally got to the track w/ my new combo...

Needless to say I am very happy w/ the results...it seems like my S197 was the only one at Cecil breaking into the 11's when there were a bunch of Cars making "more" hp... except they seemed to be struggling w/ the launch...I felt like I was cheating w/ the auto... just hold the brake and give it a little gas... and let her rip when the light turns green. It does not get any easier that that.

On my very first pass ever... I went 11.658 w/ a 1.766 60 ft time in 82 deg weather

Mods to date:
Tillman's Edel E-force stage 1 w/ 3.50 pulley (7-9.5 psi), 450 rhwp SAE
JBA Shorties headers, magnaflow catted x-pipe, SSS Adrenaline axle-backs
100% stock suspension, gears (3.31's), transmission and converter.
Mickey T's drag radial on stock 18" bullitts (265-40-18)

There were a few GT500's that could not get out of the 12's to save their lives... one dude showed me his JPC dyno chart where he was making 572 rwhp.... 615 rwtq... and his 60 ft times were like 2.4 seconds and his best ET was 12.60 (I think).

Just trying to decide If I should put the stage 2 pulley on and get myself kicked-off for the hell of it...(no roll bar)

I got timeslips... can't seem to find a way to upload them on a post?

that's friggin' bad *** dude. Congrats!

You should modify the stock GT plenum cover onto the edlebrock.. leave everyone scratching their heads on the mods you have on your car lol.

I'd say 3.73s and a high stall TC would get you into the REAL low 11s..

I have NO suspension mods...and yes.. the track was prepped. For the 1.76 60 ft, I did a light burn-out until I heard chirping... held the brake and engine at 1500 rpm's and floored it out of the hole on green...

Later in the night I held the rpm's at 2000 rpms (stock converter) and floored out of the hole and did spin a little and got a 1.86 60 ft.

3.73 and a stall would turn your car into a damn monster.

I bet some GT500 LCAs will get you that extra tenth or so to hit 11.5. They say GT500 LCAs both 1) get the job done, and 2) maintain factory ride quality (I wouldn't know though).
