That 11.8 at 119 is nice man!

Have you tried the LC "trick" discussed in this section yet? Some have good luck with it, and it's a little easier on the car. Also, are you using no lift shift? If so, try lifting a little yourself. The logs I have seen show that no lift shifts cuts too much timing and if your good with the throttle you will go quicker without using it. If you need better explanations of either, just hit me up...

Wow that's impressive. I was at palm beach international tonight and the temperature was around 75 but I was in my firebird. My best mph in my 2017 SS was 113.5 and it was maybe 65 but it was really humid. The SS is completely stock.

Yeah those few mods really helped, I want to check out some of the other tracks in Florida one of these days. Only been to the one in Orlando so far.

Congrats on your new personal best time.

Have you thought about installing G-Force axles?

Thanks...I have thought about doing upgraded half shafts but until I start making more power, if I break a half shaft I'd probably replace it with a stock one because they are about $200 for either side.

Thanks as well! I can't wait to get it to the low 10s. High 9s have become a new goal. Someone needs to stop me... I've got a problem 😂😂😂

Nice, backing up you earlier runs. And yes, me too I only am faster one out of three or four runs. Also your mph is right there with mine. So for all the $$ I have spent you car is making the same power.

I can't wait to add E85 to my setup.

I think all street tires of the same stock width should go on the stock list too. So the SS M6 is capable of 11s stock. Is that your point?
