I've run a 11.57 @123XX and few 11.7s @124mph....
However, my 60fts. ranged from the 1.7s to the 1.8s.
Practice the launches and good ets will come
I feel that a 11.2/11.3 is possible witha solid 1.6 and good shifts.

Are you bogging off the line?

i know the car is making the power to go mid to low 11's, i know my launch sucks, what i wanna know is the part in between, is my shifting good? if i get a good launch could i crack the 11's? what do guys think?
thanks for any input .
btw, this the only run i had the whole day, lots of mustangs broke with oil all over the track and one them rolled, bad crash but the guy was ok.
Listen to me man. Screw the E.T your MPH says it all. After I put my turbo kit on. I will not be able to afford a TC. I will baby it out and go for the MPH instead. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE 125MPH

We ran 11's with a 114.xx and 115.51.

We just ran 11.75 @ 117.44 on Weds. 11.77 @ 117.66 Friday with 94.XX in the 1/8th mi. Perfect driving much like CBRE is high 10's w/ 125+ traps.

Our runs were all stock turbo runs.

i have to admit that the thought of a broken T/C has crossed my mind.

i'll be happy with your driving , CBRE is a freak of nature but then again he has a long history of drag racing behind him.
Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated .

whats up man! I saw the 2nd run too... mph is very consistant. I'd say that your shifting is good... keeping the mph consistant, imo, is dependant on shifting well.

My WRX for example (and my friends WRX) both will mph VERY differently really depending on the 2-3 upshift for us. I've trapped anywhere from 120-125 and can pretty much blame the variance on the 2-3 shift. The time obviously suffers too.

Anyway, with a 2.1 sixty foot, you are EASILY 4 tenths of the pace from the get-go.... and like the old drag racers adage, 4 tenths in the sixty, is 8 tenths in the quarter. So there's your 11.4... keep in mind, I run 11.3s @ 125 with 1.7-1.8 sixty foot times.

Keep on trying, you'll get it!

Oh yea... you using the AEM anti-lag?

hey what's up man, it was nice talking to you. hopefully this week-end if it does not rain/snow i'll be in the 11's at least.
and to answer your question, i don't have the anti-lag set yet.

I believe when he says pump gas, he means 100oct fuel, which in some locations can be purchased at the pump. On 100oct if I remember correctly, he made 425WHP on a DD, which translates to close to 500WHP on a dyno jet.

I'd start thinking about getting that set-up to help you on the launch. I use the UTEC launch control and still have issues getting a decent launch. Either she goes up in smoke or she bogs. Of course, now, my main issue is getting a clutch that can handle the abuse.
