    I'm hoping for low 11's since someone around here with a very similar set up is is in the 11's. I plan on throwing a lot of boost at it!

    Hmm wonder who that can be... Well last week I also found out I was 2 qts low on tranny fluid so I topped it off and its running really good. Cant wait for some 60* nights with 15+ psi. Gonna be 10s for sure. I have no doubt you'll be comfortably in the 11's. How much timing are you running?

    I'm running 16* with 10-12 on the street and 16 at 14psi with a couple gallons of 110 at the track. You need to see what that thing does

    Were gonna try 16lbs at the truck shootout Nov 3rd. Its only 1/8 mile so I figure that would be a good time to try it.

    Should move out pretty good. I plan to up the boost next time out. Hopefully it'll be a cool night. That's what I'm really waiting for. It was 90* with high humidity when I ran the 11.4 and by the last half of the track my iat's were 151 and it was only giving it 10* of timing. Still conservative but its got more in it. I'm thinking 16psi and 14-15* with some 110 in it. Should be able to break 10s with some good air. How much timing you gonna run with 16#? And what fuel?

    Probably gonna run straight 110 not to sure on the timing, whatever my tuner feels comfortable with. I've got to get some factory rims and slicks. I think the th400 and higher stall is really gonna make a difference, especially when it leaves out. You leaving on boost?

    With 110 I would run at least 16* no doubt. I'm running a msd 2step on the foot brake and leaving at 6psi. I did a drum swap so my rear braking isn't as good so I may have to run hydoboost to build the same boost. But with my 28x10 Hoosiers on stock rims I cut a 1.63 60' on 11psi but on 14psi I spun to the 60' and cut a 1.77. I may fool with the 2step to see if I can get it to hook better or sell my stock rims and slicks and buy some 15x10 steelies and new slicks. Ill holler at you if I decide to sell them and ill make you a good deal. I have some 325/50/15 nitto drag radials on the way for the street but may see what they will do at the track

    That would be awesome , keep me posted! I been thinking about grinding down my calipers to fit 15's but I just don't like the idea of weakening my calipers .

    Yea ill let you know for sure. I didn't want to grind especially bc the steelies I'm running have less clearance than bogarts so I would've prolly had to grind to the pads lol. But they are only $110 a piece
