For all of you guys who like to drag race, what are your goals for 2011?

My goal is to make a run at a 10.9x timeslip. Not gonna change much power wise. I'm thinking more along the lines of suspension upgrades and weight reduction. Right now my race weight is 3450 lbs. I'd like to get it down to around 3250. Between that and maybe upping the shot from 125hp to 150hp, I think I can give it a good shot. We will see I guess!

I plan on shooting for a 11.5 pass before the year is over. I'd like to also eventually get a 120 trap.

I don't want 11.4x because I will get booted for no cage The car is only 3 months old so I won't be adding one haha

Well I don't have a 1/4 mile track to go to. Our local track is a 1000ft. It went 9.92 last season. Im upping the spray from 100 to 150. Ditching the stock 3.23's for 4.10's, putting a new clutch in, and going tubular K with coil overs and strange 10 way adjustables all the way around. Also going with a big and little set up. I already have the front Billet Specialties, just have to buy the rears now. Also going to do Long tubes when I do the K member swap.

With all that said, I'm shooting for an 8.99 pass.(1000 ft.)

I meant track tech inspection. Passing smog will be like a 1 week long transformation.

12.20's at 110+ as it sits in this nice winter weather. With a SVT-F pump and the 125 shot, 11.99 but I don't think I'll get to that point this year.
