12.33ET-150shot

Well 12.33 @ 112mph, 1.75 60' with 28/11.50/16 QTPs 5000rpm drop and a 150 fogger shot. I have got a 12.3 ET twice now, its been about 70-80*F looks like Im going to need a 200 shot on my stock bottom to get (maybe) a 11.9. What do you think??

i think 200 on a stock bottom end is pushing it a little. plenty of people on here get away with it, but many of them know its a matter of time, but yeah you might see 11.9-12.1 with the added help

more suspension and weight reduction and 11's shouldn't be a problem. with the suspension and weight reduction you should be able to get your 60' time down to the 1.5 range and that alone woud take you into the high 11's. or maybe even just some long tubes and a dyno tune might even get you a couple tenths. it wont take much to get you to the 11's, you will just have to decide which way you wanna do it or asin most cases let your budget decide. good luck.

1.75 60 needs to be a 1.60 60' then you will be there...idk why a 5000 dump with a 12 bolt isnt getting you any better...whet kinda tires? is it sticking?

Do you have a bottle warmer? Your mph looks a little low for what you're running. I went 116 with a dry 150 shot only srpaying it in 3rd and 4th. Of course I only netted low 13's. 3-4 mph could be just what your need to get the 11's. That is if you can get it to hook.

How high is the track? Both the times and the mph seem a bit low. My auto 93 ran 11.80's@ 117 all day with just a gutted cat, CAI, drag radials and a 150 dry shot.

Re: 12.33ET-150shot

I ran 28" hoosiers, I just need more nitrous the stuff is addictive I just want more and more until finally it kills my motor. My nozzle and solenoids should flow enough so 200 shot here I come.
