id say thats pretty good...

an electric fan can never hurt...a viscous fan eats some power, so going to electric will free upa little power.

also get like a E303 or such... i dont see that you have a cam so that will add some more power... maybe with a few more things you can get it into the low 12's.. thats fast as hell for a vert and a bigger guy... im 6'4" 240ish... sucks getting in these small cars..

I'm also really tall. 6'5. Sucks getting in these cars. I had to move my seat back. My dad and I drilled 4 new holes for my car driver seat to move back.
