My goal is to run in the 11's on at least two tracks and get over 30 mpg on at least one leg of the trip. I'd also like to see a pass over 120mph, but I'm more concerned about ET.

and that wasnt with any extensive tuning for economy or anything

Ok, it really is a repeatable 11 second car now. Just ran a 11.94 last night with the miniture 14" drag radials, a poor launch and a rich bog on the last 100 ft or so (rich bog was due to running the engine in a different part of the fuel map due to smaller diameter tires).

I got new wheels for my 16" drag radials but they are a little too wide and stick out past the fenders. I didn't trust to run 120mph when the tires rub the fenders during braking!

I did some fender trimming this evening and I think I got the wider wheels and Hoosier drag radials to fit now.

Of what, the 11 second passes? I was at the track by myself, so I have no vids. Heres a time slip scan though, if you need proof. The car number (523) is still on my car in the front shot above if you need still more verfication

Yes, as you can see in the front shot. I've been running that for about a year now.
