What should I run?

I have done some mods since the last time I was at the track. I will be heading up there next week and I am wandering what I will be running with my mods(5# pulley and no Nitrous). If anyone has these mods or something close, please jump in and share with me what you ran or what I should be running. Don't want to get kicked off the track. I will be using some slicks too that arent listed in my sig.

We do have alot of the same mods. I wonder if the tq converter and 4.10's would put me in the 11's with no nitrious. I am hoping, but last time (with nitrous and less mods) I hit high 11's and they wouldn't let me run anymore!

Ok, I am going to flame you man!! 11 second L without a Driveshaft loop!! AHHHHHHHHHHH Do you want to hurt your baby!! HMM lets see what I can come up with...

Lightning Truck- $32,000
Mods to run 11's- $5,000

Tearing up your $40,000 toy because you forgot a $70 safety part... PRICELESS!!!

All depends on track,weather conditions and removal of weight to answer this question but i think you will be in a range of 12.30's to 12.50's with your mods shown in your sig. Keep us posted!

I would say low low 12's and maybe a high 11 if the track is prepped good and the weather is right.

I had a great conditions day when I went 12.28 with just a 2lb lower and 50 shot of juice. I also have the full bassani, 90 mass air, electric fan, TR6's, E.T. streets, throttle body, batteries in back(my traction device), no bed cover and tailgate, and absolutly no trans work at all. I averaged 12.40's with those mods though.

I'm hoping a 3.5lb pulley increase, long tubes, powercooler, converter and monster box will get my in the 11's with ease though. This year will be the test.

I know by my at byron they let us get away with mid to low 11 second runs with my buddies camaro and he has no cage.

My truck did have a convertor, but I forgot to list it in my mods. I had the stock 3.55's though.
