i would lower your two step. Each person has his own technique, but i find that 5200 2step and 22 psi in the front and 20 in rear net me 1.6x on 245 fedrals. Id definalty put some race gas in and get some more mph out if and a hit an 11 for sure. good luck

Try 22psi in the front and 23psi in the rear as a baseline with a 5800rpm 2step. Then adjust accordingly based on results IE: bogging or spinning. Good luck.

35 psi....what are you running truck tires.....They should be no higher than 32 if the are stock 17's

Other than that I would use the pressure ryu said. If you get you 60' to a 1.6 then you are in the 11's.

I'll have different cams (gsc s1), upper and lower icp, ported exhaust manifold, 02 houing.
Otherwise, same mods. I'm shooting for an 11.9 also. keep us up to date if u hit the 11.9.

Also, is this a 6 speed? (if not, and ur hitting an redline in 4th, i guess i'll need to go to 5th )

take "more" weight out? what did you take out so far.

Hearing that you're on a five speed really discourages me.
