Does anyone feel high 11's NA are possible with the 370?

Methodical4u · 09-02-2011, 12:00 AM

I know we have a few low 12's and one 12.24. I know they likely had all of the NA mods possible, but I don't know about any sort of weight reduction or how much.

With more stuff coming out and the possibility of the VVEL getting cracked (hopefully) who feels high 11's are possible?

I'm just curious, just for the sake of debate.

Depends on the Mr. Wallet!

No...simple answer. Jason (Jnaut) who ran the 12.24 had every bolt on AND an aggressive then and he could drive. Gaining another 1/4 of a second would be near impossible.

Add drag radials to Jnaut's car and with optimal track conditons, I THINK he might be able to pull of a 11.99.

f the bolt ons, rebuild the motor

i think it will eventually happen. maybe someones lightweight road race car would do it?

cracking VVEL will probably never actually happen, and even if it does, everyone holding their breath thinking they are going to make gobs of power tweaking it are in for a serious let down.

I think it is possible. The right driver, 60fter,mods,tires,reduced weight? Those are just the start of what you will need. Add in location, weather and all the factors that come in with that yes anything is possible. Has anybody done it yet nope. What was Jnaut's 60fter? Weather? Weight of vehicle with him in it? Mods and Tires? I am doing full bolt on's and I have some dr's waiting for me when I return. I'll do my best.

Do not think so.
im getting the converter reworked this winter so i can launch at 3500 vs 1900 rpm / The GTM converter gave me and improvment of .42 of a second after he modified it and i think that there is more left to gain.
it may put me into the low 12.3's. The problem with the auto is the 4th to 5 th shift it take .61 of a second.
Sam is working on the VB and hopefully i should have it by next spring. If it can cut the shift time to .41 . 12.12 would be the best that i could expect.
the car ran perfectly on the 12.42 run. it pulled its brains out. Puting the motordyne art pipes might help. too.

Never say never Z eliminator anything is possible. I am still waiting for updates on that plenum spacer and I believe someone is in the works for a new manifold. Only the future will tell.

Z eliminator · 09-02-2011, 10:39 AM

The quickist turbo car is running 11.7's. the trap seeds are increadable.
The stillen SC is also in the 11.7s (if im wrong some body tell me.
You need lots of rwhp and perfect weather and track conditions.
J nauts car and mine are done to the 9's.
i will be going to the track in a few weeks and we will see what it runs.
Im also waiting for the spacer results and i may put the factory intake manifold back on.
I think that it may pull stronger on the top end.

Pretty unlikely

This. I think maybe 11.99 is the best we could hope for if Jnaut get's some drag radials, maybe any weight reduction or something he hasn't done so already (which I doubt), and get absolutely perfect conditions for that one run.

^ This

Although I think he'd really need a set of ET Streets and a hot launch to pull it off. Of course that brings up the question of whether or not the rear end could handle a 5-6k launch on the MT's, and of course whether or not the car has enough torque to power through.
