New best for the GTA.

11.69 @ 116.87 1.57 60'. Track wasn't dead hooking so the tires didn't see any air time. But overall, it was fun. Not to bad for a n/a 355 and a 6spd. I was a little to skerd to spray it, but I will before this winter comes. maybe some 10.20's in my future.

Other times were
11.799
11.81
11.70 (changed tire psi and launch rpm)
11.69

I'll try to keep this short
HSR 58mm TB
Protopline 200cc heads
comp cams 306 (230/244 .510/.544)
forged bottom end set up for a 300 shot.

T-56 and a 9" w/ 4.11 on a 26" et street. All parts were installed off the shelf. I can't complain for little thought that I put into this thing.

Congratulations.

You're going to have to rev that baby to the moon to run 10.20s on 26" tires with those gears.

I'm gunna try to squeeeeze a 29" under it. A 28 will fit, but a 29 would be a little easier on the parts.

Put a stealth ram on it and use a bigger bump stick.
