Exclamation New Best! 11.13 @123mph

I didn't make the 10's today, but I did get a new best. 11.13 @123mph. On that pass it pulled the front wheels off the ground about 2 inches with an 1.59 60ft time. I made one more pass. This time flashing the converter. It "really" launched hard. It pulled both tires about 4" with an 1.54 60ft time. Unfortunately my nitrous bottle was empty and I didn't get to run it all the way through. Could it have been a 10.99? I was getting faster every pass. I guess I'll find out next weekend. Here is some info on my car for those who don't know. My car weighs 3805 with me in it. It has a stock LT1(stock cam) with LT4 heads and intake. 52mm TB and longtube headers. I'm running the NOS #5176 dry nitrous system (125 shot) with a progressive controller. I still have the stock auto trans. and converter along with the stock rearend ( factory 3.23 gears).
Suspension...not stock.

60 .... 1.59
330 ... 4.59
1/8 ... 7.11
mph ... 97.34
1000 ... 9.29
1/4 ... 11.13
mph ... 123.35

Thanks guys. Sometimes I run 17" BFG drag radials with stock rims and sometimes 16" ET Streets with T/A rims.
