Agreed, and when that meth and rear upper and lower control arms are installed I should be a member of the 11 secondsuperchargedstock engined S197's who cares more about ET than dyno numbers.

Still not close. THe OP is showing up on slicks/skinnies with a low 11 car. I have ran many blown S197's and none of them broke 11's. Now I am not saying that ALL blowns S197's are 12 second cars, just it seems many are worried more about making big HP numbers than what the car actually runs.

if he's running 20s and your going from a dig... IMO the race is yours if u spray.
If he shows up on DRs..... then drivers race IMO

. To be honest I did run one yesterday that was making over 500 rwhp,trapping 118, I only beat him by a fender and it's because I really out launched him and treed him. After he got his tires figured out I never got a chance to run him again, but I know he would have got me, his traps also got up into the 120 range.

RE: flash called out!
I have a 231/237 TSP cam, long tubes, most bolt ons, Yank 4000 stall, LCA's, drag radials on 15 inch Welds. The car runs consistant 11.8's but my MPH is on the slow side, usually 112-114 ish. I really need to get a decent tune in the car, I am hoping to pick up a couple mph and a tenth or two. Also the car is pretty much full weight, the only things taken out are the jack and spare and the AC pump/condenser.

RE: flash called out!
Yea there are lots of cars that could take me from a roll right now. I hope to be trapping in the mid to upper teens after I get the tune sorted out, plus I am tossing around the idea of locking the converter in second gear to gain some mph. That all said I don't beleive in roll racing, there is no point to it, fortunatly around where I live nobody that is serious (ie not a ricer) race from rolls. Here it is all about going from a dig, the way it should be. Here is what one of our old race spots looks like.
