Also I assume he is keeping the same size wheel so 2 more inches of sidewall will help traction.

Thumbs up

11.02 is a great run Don, you are so close it is killing you. I know your pain brother, soon it will pass.
Fords at E-Town or the day before you will have it. Unless you stayed in Jersey and plan on giving it another shot this weekend. Or maybe head to Cecil, you will get it no problem there.
Congratulations on your new best time, you will be in the 10 second club very soon.
Bill

Thanks guys

Ya that is my plan to try for it at JDM Day.

I tell you that last tenth of a second is getting to be a real pain in the behind.

As for some of the other questions

55# injectors

Ya I was getting 1.58 60's at FFW, the 11.023 was a 1.65 60' so with a better launch I should be able to run the 10 I am looking for before winter sets in.

30 inch slicks keep me from running out of rpm's at the end of the track, and have a taller sidewall for more tire wrinkle.

As for the diet, if I loose any weight you might not be able to find me.

I'm quite sure that everytime you went down the track, people were saying "come on, come on, get that 10".

Good luck and two thumbs up.

STRUCK
