Is 440 RWHP enough for an 11?

Considering good temps and air and a 1.6x on slicks, is this possible? I will have weight savings from the slicks over the stock wheels, dropping the hitch and spare. I ran a 12.78 into a 25 mph headwind in November on F1's at full weight BEFORE the Apten porting. I hope slicks, weight loss, and the Apten can get me there next month.... I am guessing I will dyno very close to 440 this coming week

Just an 11.9999999999999999999999999

I'll guess a 12.5x at 108mph.

12.7 at 107 mph before (1.89 60ft)...

Just seeing if simple math is a reasonable assumption:
slicks and a 1.6x 60' = 3-4 tenths
weight reduction from slicks (50#), hitch (50-75#), and spare (?) = 1-2 tenths
Apten blower = 1-2 tenths?????????

440 is more than enough to run an 11.

You need to be right around 112-113mph to get into the 11's..........of course this is considering you get a good short time.

That is the name of the game.

I ran 12.2 @ 109 w/ 1.69 short time.

My previous dyno was 409/510.

fractaldragon.............I am not sure where you race but you should go up to Stanton MI ( http://www.midmichmotorplex.com ) in either the spring or fall for T&T...........I'll bet you will be happy with your times

They are few and between, but people have ran 11 with the power your talking about.

Yeah I talk to Matt (HIGH ROLLER) alot and he is always trying to get me to goto Stanton. He told me that you guys keep in touch too. Maybe after I get my slicks broken in

Quite a haul for me though....
