Nitto 555's, I only ran 5 times and I was getting faster each time, then the rain, just need a little more practice getting out of the hole.

My best (not happy) 60' with 315 hoosier DR's is 1.79 with 4500 rpm launch. I'm going to try a few more rpm's next time. I had 315 Nitto's last year and they sucked till they were at least 1/2 worn out, seemed to work better if I heated them up good too.

i doubt you will get into the 11's with a better 60 ft unless you pull like a 1.3x but you may pick up a couple tenths. put some et streets on that thing and try it again

Yesterday was great at the track.There was not many street cars and they let us go twice in a row one time.I got 4 passes in and then got outta the before thw worlds largest rain drops started falling.Nice pass dude that blue cobra is quick and has one of the sweetest engine bays i have seen on an sn 95.

My car ran 11.5@117mph with ET streets, your not much slower and should be able to hit a high 11 with your mph and a good 60', maybe a 1.5-1.6.

Thats what I was thinking, gonna pump up the fronts and play with pressure in the rears, taking my back seat out, plus it was 1:30pm when I ran Sat which was the hottest part of the day before it rained. I'm gonna try a friday night to get some better air.:thmbsup: something else I was thinking about is I never power shifted the car, which would sqeak out another tenth or two just leary with the crappy t45.
