When I finally write the check it won't apear to be so bad Yes I added meth and replaced a bad turbo. I went from a 26" DOT to a 24" slick which will improve 60' and et, but kill MPH. Don't make more of the changes than what is there. I have always been on C16 and the turbo just started showing signs of fatigue. So I replaced it as I am tired of chasing gremlins.

Good info.. It really goes to show when you are deep in the 11's what it does take to go that extra few tenths.. it is no different than if you run 9's and you have to make several changes to get a .3 off the time to go 8's.. I think some people need to look from the perspective of it not being ONLY .3 tenths but it being the hardest 3 tenths to get when you are near maxed out as it is.. I am going to PM you some info for 2 mods that i will guarantee you will drop your time drastically.. 1 of which we used on cwills car and picked up 20hp..

Meth kit or no meth kit it got the job done.. It doesnt take away any from the accomplishments.. Many people have run times with hidden nitrous or never admitted having nitrous even if pics were found of it on the car.. I have to respect you for laying it out there and letting the entire community know what mods you have so they try to reach their goals as well.. very standup!!!

I was sitting here thinking about everything and I forgot to mention a few people who also helped out. Both 9sec9 and Indy have always been there for me and answered questions, etc. All this stuff really helps out in the long run. I'm sure I'll think of others I'm getting old.....
