11.52 on a 305 motor??? That's a bada$$ motor there. What does the Elky weigh in at? WHat RPM are you leaving at, shifting at???

Same thing i was wondering. If thats the case most people can just keep their 305s instead of swapping them.

Sorry.... Ran a 13.86 with the 305. Fixed my 355 and ran the 11.52. Should run 10's tomorrow. My 60 foot time was 1.74 on that 11.52 pass.

With my 355 I'm shifting at 7k, leave at 4500, car weighs 2750 with me in it.

Thanks guys. I'll get some video tomorrow and post it up.

Yesterday my tires were going away. I managed a 10.92 at 122mph while I spun with a 1.66 60 foot.

I picked up a newer set of slicks to finish the year out on. My others where hoosier quick pro's, 28x11.50. The ones I'll be running tomorrow are 29.5x10 mickey Thompson et drags.

With the 28's I was running on my rev limited about 40 feet before the end of the track. Im hoping with the taller tire I'll gain some more top end, and of course hook. I'd be happy to run 10.50's.
