Fastest Super Ram car?

I've seen lots of posts by people whose mini ram cars are running in the 12's, so what are you guys with super rams running? Are twelves still possible with the SR?

12's are VERY possible w/ the SR and I would say EXPECTED w/ a matched setup. I have one sitting in my spare bedroom along w/ some AFR's, LPE 219 cam, Vigilante TQ converter, and some other toys. I'm hoping for mid 12's once everything is tuned, a chip is burnt, and I get some BFG Drag Radials. I've seen 12 and 11 sec. N/A cars in GM High Tech and other mags w/ the SR. Here's the quickest one I've seen on the web w/ some actual numbers and some good info., although it's in a C4 Vette, he's running 11.5's N/A. http://www.corvetteforum.net/c4/beach_bum/

There's a guy out here in SoCal with an 89 GTA 406 small block w/ SuperRam that runs 10's on the motor and 9's with nitrous. But now he switched to an aftermarket 4-barrel EFI and runs low 9's with nitrous.

I ran 12.89 @ 110 mph with a superram and BFG drag radials and a truck torque convertor in my 85. With a proper convertor I should have seen about 12.5. That was with a 350. I sold the SR and bought a MR for my new 383. I have no idea what this will run when it's done. I'm hoping for 11.5-12.0 this time out.
There's currently a thread on the Coervette forum about the Super Ram and guys running less than 11.2. A guy named Ralph has a pretty potent combo over there with stock displacement.
