Before run flats and other things (no idea when you ran the personal best). In any case, for OP, you should be in same range.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a verified 1/4 mile tomorrow, if I am in the 11s I'm quite content with that. If not, perhaps some more power or weight savings. Do we have a spare under our cars? Anyone know the weight if I remove it? I've never even looked lol.

I appreciate the confidence. Tires were spinning all the way to 60ish. Crappy Detroit roads. Was just getting a little jaded that I dropped a bit of cash on something others could do already without. Our drag strip opens in a couple months. I'll try to be patient!
I am looking to go a similar route. Can you list what all you’ve done? Did you get a whipple intercooler? Did you swap out fuel lines and injectors? Is this 520 WHEEL horsepower or at the crank? Did you fortify your transmission?I’m sure you did a HPFP. As a side note, seeing that gas here in California is 91 and is hovering over 6.50 on average, doesn’t e85 at 2.99 make up for the 30% deficiency in economy? Thanks in advance for answering questions

This is 520 wheel yes. I did not swap fuel lines, only injectors and hpfp. Transmission is stock. Using e85 uses around 35% more fuel than 93, so with gas priced the way it is now, yes it is slightly more economical to use e85. At this point I am out of turbo (air). I'm still on the fence if I want to go that route as it will force me to do turbos, downpipes, and transmission. It's a hefty investment, but I'm already growing used to the power it has at the moment. Getting ~11mpg also isn't the best, bigger turbos will likely drop that figure into sub 10mpg area.
