cheapest way into the 11s (my idea)

I'm not even certain 5 people have hit 11s on those mods yet, but we are still talking about the "cheapest possible way into the 11s," or at least I am.

well, i have run 4 12.0s with basically those mods. I mean, i have an xede...but the same thing could be achieved with an afc for a gung-ho race gas pull. Biggest advantage the xede has over the safc is the pump gas tuning. Gloves are off with 118octane.
I don't think it can be done without cams, and if you have a 6spd, i dunno what you can do...thats a sticky skitiation.
all it takes is letting the car get the exhaust out fast, lots of boost, and a tune....really.
ive made over 30 12.0-12.2 passes on the stock clutch...i don't even wanna hear that you can't do it on the stocker.
on all my 12.0s, i had **** for stock tires. really, no tread...one weekend removed from 170 miles on a 2.0 mile road course.

doesn't take half of that crap. i can cut 3k out of that easy and be in 11s.
your title says 'cheapest way to 11s'...thats why what you put is wrong. without a doubt that SHOULD get you to 11s....but its def not even close to the cheapest.
3" downpipe-$225
testpipe with cutout on it-$125
boost controller-$80
safc-$250
10.5 hotside(if you dont have a 05)-$250
272 cams-$500
race gas-$30
tune or wideband o2-$300
total of $1760. can be cheaper if you buy used parts or if you just drop the exhaust behind the downpipe instead of buying a testpipe and cutout.

i dont know i did over 30 passes on my stocker 2 and it held fine but thier is a local guy running 12.5 without cams and we are 6K above sea lvl i think its possible to run a 11 without them it would b pretty much to the max but possible

I guess I should have said that to begin with.

and again, the clutch doesn't go with it. with what i listed(plus the panel filter and fuel pump that i left out) should be 11.8 with good driver. Hell, i ran a 12.01 with over a 1.8 60'....an average driver can pull 1.70 short times, i did it the first time out with this car....and im not a pro by any means.
u forgot... take off all the seats. replace the heavy door, take off headlights, take off the wing, remove spare tires, strip down all your exterior and replace with a thin plastic car like cover then you might go into the 10s

I then added the DP/TP and ran a 50/50 mix of 116 and 93oct while running 23-24psi solid in 4th (still tapered to 20 at redline) en route to 12.1s.
I haven't ever run crazy boost beyond 25 like so many others do...

I hope he does it, its gonna be tough though.

We'll see what happens tomorrow night, though, during test'n'tune. We're getting low 60-degree temps, and I can currently shift at any rpm, so we'll see what happens when I have straight 110oct instead of a 50/50 mix along with cool temps. I will still be limited by the stock gearing, but maybe I can make up a little ground due to the other factors.
