New best, Almost touching 11's!!!!!

Well I went last night and got my new personal best.

60 ft -----1.62
1/8 et-----7.641
1/8 mph---90.02
1/4 et-----12.01
1/4 mph---112.45

I need to do some more carb tunning and add some 110 race fuel and it should hit 11's. Im still thinking of getting a Cervini hood and going with a S10 steering box. Im still running stock LCA's and no subframe connectors.

My old best is in my sig.

Nice times. Not necessarily for an automatic car.

Thanks

1989GTATransAm Nice times. Not necessarily for an automatic car.

So say a 5 or 6 speed might get more mph with my same setup? Not that I am going to change but just curious.

I still need to jet the carb for max mph and tune a little more.

What do you guys suggest to get me into the 11's and stay there?

Re: New best, Almost touching 11's!!!!!

Im running a comp xe282hr-12 hyd roller cam. Im running 1.5 Crane Gold RR's.
The lifts with the 1.5's are .510 and .520 lift.

If I go to 1.6 rr's then the lift jumps to like .545 intake and .555 exhaust. My heads flow good at that range. Will going to the 1.6 rr's help much or is it not worth it?
