Some of your times are quick for the power you're making but some of your cars are pretty light...compared to mine. Even though I haven't removed much as far as weight is concerned, I really can't see how I could remove over 200 lbs of stuff to get my raceweight below 3500. I really do like having my ac in the summer heat.

Not exactly an 11, but I've been 12.0 @ 112 MPH with 303 RWHP in a 3448# '93Z with a 1.67 60 ft. time.

My car weighs about 3,400 lbs and dynoed 350 HP to the tires. Off the foot brake the car runs 11.30's at 120, with 1.65 sixty foot. With a different converter or a transbrake, the sixty foot should improve by about a tenth and run 11.00's.
