took my 347 out at test and tune on friday untuned and only with 515 miles on it. i was just too tempted. anyways, my best run was a 12.30 with a 1.9 sixty foot at 113mph. on m/t et streets. oh, still stock piping to the muffler.
you guys think after the dyno tune and opening up
the exhaust, i'll get in the elevens? oh, my fastest mph was 115.

cut those 60ft's down (which should be easy depending on your suspension set up), and get a nice cat back or something to open it up, and tune it....I dont see any reason why 11's wouldn't be within reach.

11's will be very very easy for you if u can cut the 60 down just a little

was this at sears or sac

if u can get a 1.70 that will be an 11 second pass

what psi are u running the slicks at, how big of a burnout did u do

i dont see why with some practice that 60' cant come down into the 1.6's

I told u that tko was a very smooth shifter, its nice isnt it, i bet it is even better since u have the triax on it now [patriot]
