I'll shave a tenth off your time for free:

* 46.5 lbs Passenger Seat
* 3.5 lbs Jack
* 29 lbs Spare tire
* 7 lbs Trunk mat
* 1 lb Passenger side floor mat
* 12.5 lbs Bottom of backseat

Getting rid of all of the above = 99.5 lbs savings

By the way, my car ran high elevens on the stock Saleen pulley tuned to 403rwhp.

Two more tricks that my car has:

With these two things, the car will transfer weight better to the rear tires when you launch.

^^ cool tip! I was thinking the same thing, but taking out the back seats completely and using AMs rear seat delete.. adds like 3 lbs. but looks better than a stripped back interior lol

It amuses me to see people that have inferior centrifugal superchargers try to bash better ones. The truth is that twin screw superchargers are more efficient delivering more torque at the bottom end. The Saleen has a bypass mode that allows the motor to run naturally aspirated until you increase acceleration, then the bypass valve re-roughts the air flow. This allows longer SC bearing life and less wear on the bottom end of the motor.

My 07 Mustang Convertible has a Saleen Supercharger with a 3.4 pulley and an improved intake, it weighs 4070 pounds with driver, and still ran an 11.96 at 114.2 mph. The bottom end is stock and so is the fuel pump.
I have nothing against the centrifugal supercharger if that is all you can afford.

I could probably run similar times with a higher trap with my inferior centrifugal if I chose to intercool it and up the boost.

I say probably because I may end up selling it for a twin screw
