There is a lot of room for improvement.

I ran an 11.76 @ 116 in my 03 (unported) with only a 2.8 upper, CAI, midpipe and cat back on ET streets.

In a friends 04 with a stg4 port, 2.8 upper only, CAI, SRA, catted midpipe, slp cat bk, on 15: slicks went 10.91 @ 126

I went 11.1's @ 130 in the same 04 without powershifting on another date.


Do you have any vids? How quick are your shifts? What were the conditions like?

How much power does your car put down?

Thats decent but as stated above, room for improvement. I would focus alot on dropping your 60ft time above everything else. When you drop the 60, you will see low 11's! Good luck.

I only made 2 passes but managed an 11.79 on et streets,no powershifts or weight reduction.

60' 1.726
330 4.945

1000 9.864

Very respectable start. My first time out with the Stage IV, I hit a best of 11.80 at 123 with a 1.88 60'. Just takes practice and more modification tweaking. Nice job.

Nice start. The 60' will come down as you learn the car, but I'd be more concerned as to why you are trapping where an unported car would normally trap. What was the DA?

Car put down 491rwhp.There was a slight headwind but I think the car moved around on the big end killing some et and mph.I could only get 2 runs because I had a leaking thermostat o-ring.

Thats what I was getting at with my questions about conditions, power, and shifting.

My best ET pass when I was pullied was 116 on the ET streets, but it consistantly trapped 117-118 and ran 11.8's on MT DR.

Ported,I trapped 127-129 in mine and 126-130 in the 04 that has my old stg 4 on it.


just get out there and have fun in it. The et's will come down as you figure it out. Check for belt slip, that could explain the low trap.

Like everyone above said, decent time but it can be improved with some practice. I ran an 11.6 in my vert on street tires with a stage 3 port. I think with some ET Streets I could have ran at least an 11.2.

thanks for all of the help.I will have to check for belt slip because I think it was going 115 w/o the ported blower.I also switched from gates to gatorback when I put the stage IV on.
I know when I ran on the east coast my car would always pick up 2 tenths.
