How to make an 11sec daily driver?

My original goal for my truck was to have a mid 12 sec daily driver. Well as most of you know once you hit your goal you create another one. I ran a 12.9 last yr before traction bars, FT VB and Catback. I understand I will not gain from the CB but I should be around 12.7 now with current mods(will find out for sure this Sat at RT 66). My ? is for those who have a truck running high 11's what mods do you have and what would be my next step? Current mods are in sig. Please don't say TB or any other $500 2hp mods. I don't have 3-5K to spend on a new blower or built motor. Is this 11 sec dream of mine a posibility or should I just be happy with what I have?

SVTF150 just ran 12.02, he has full exhaust, 6lb lower, E-Fan/Pump, torque converter, etc. do a search and find the rest of his mods, also Vinnie hit the 11's I think, all bolt ons no nitrous, you can hit the 11's now if you spray it, or you can do with just the bolt ons, 60ft time is a big part of it so getting drag radials or slicks is a must.

I'm in the Lakewood Falls subdivision off of Weber Rd. I have a black 01 but it's in the garage most of the time and it only gets taken out on sunny days. Are you going to 66 Sat? I just turned 13k.

Get a 6 or 8# lower, a good race tune, an electric fan, some sort of cold air kit, Hoosiers, and some weight loss.

You know who I am if you think about it. I was the guy with the black L when you blew up your monster box If I remember correctly I think you ran a 12 something but I don't think you were spraying. The track opens at 9:00 and it's open til 5 if your interested. By the way your girls house is about 3 min away. If stay on airport and make a right on Budler, I'm on the left side first turn in.

Well guys I got an HD customer coming over at 11 on saturday for me to do some modding so we'll see when I get out of there. If anything I might just take a cruise down to come check you guys out.

Nitrous!!!! For $800.00 you can have a complete NX nitrous kit which you can run the 75hp jets which will be safe for the factory rods and should get you into the high 11.90's with good traction!
