11.83@115 was my fastest pass. Was on 245/50/16 Nitto drag radials. Made some passes with a 28/9-15 slick but the drag radial was much better for some reason

holy hell that is quick! Very nice!
you probably ran quicker on the 245/50R16s because of the smaller diameter. Difference between a 26" tire vs a 28"

Very nice time, couldnt agree more that the smaller tire helped you.

Outstanding. You should be proud you have done an excellent job. Exactly where both mine should / should have run but it takes work, tuning, and time, on all aspects motor converter gears suspension fuel supply. Its harder to build a reliable docile even somewhat fuel efficient 11 second pump gas street car than a mid 10 second drag car. Plus every half wit has ideas for you as to what kind of drag car parts and setup you should use and worse than no help in building what you want. :mrgreen: Hey you should put some pics and build info in your photo album. Again two thumbs up!

I'm speachless at how quick this car is... Even with a LQ4 motor, I wasn't expecting more than 12s for a car that looks so simple and everyday.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The next thing that's gonna happen in some 3-way adjustable shocks for the front and rear and a helper air spring for the R/R. My goal is to hit 11.50 now just to stay right above the NHRA time cutoff for a cage.

The first pass I made after I finished the car was 12.86 and I was more than happy with that. The car ran extremely rich so I went to get it dyno tuned. Basically it was a street tune not too rowdy, ended up picking a whopping 74rwhp from it.

I was expecting low 12's to be my best with the car but when I got that 11 second timeslip I couldn't help but hotlap it and try and get a better time, actually the 11.83 was with me hotlapping the car.

I put alot of money and time into the car but personally it's all worth it. I could have driven the car up to the track (hour and a half away) but I didn't want to have to baby it at the track so I could have a ride home.

To me the car looks just as it's about to pull the L/F tire, so that's my new goal, just a little bit of air under the fronts :mrgreen:

if you consider a 640hp supercharged motor thats prepels a 3352lbs ZR1 Corvette thru the traps at 11.1sec @ 132mph...

... you're not that far off with a 3500-3700lbs.
I betting you'd be quicker if you were closer to the weight of the Vette.

I think you need to go hunt some Ferrari's and exotics
