Made five more passes after that but my 10yr old trans started slipping. But car still managed to run 11.20-11.29 worst pass all five passes the MPH was between 120-121.29. Time for a trans.
 
Congrats. Sounds like your wagon is working good. Nothing wrong with running elevens. I would be quite happy, for a little while 😀 , with an eleven second timeslip.
Did you try runnning without the swaybar? Notice a difference with it hooked up and not hooked up?

I am happy with the 11 timeslips just tired of seeing tgem for the past 5yrs now i want that 10 second timeslip. :mrgreen: Didnt get to remove sway bar a car wrecked bad tight when i was getting ready to remove it. That pretty much shut down the track rental for awhile.
 
Talked to a guy who is big into drag racing. He told me my car should be running 10.88 going by the 121.29 mph my car was pulling. He had some formula to figure it out think it was 1320 divided by your MPH.
