Default what will it take to get a ECSB into the 11's N/A?

what to know some opinions?

what kind of mph do you think us ecsb need to get into the 11's n/a? i know it will be very hard, i say an ecsb needs to have atleast a 1.65 60' and 110-111mph to achieve a 11.99? do yall agree? they are heavy and definately need the low end plus the mph for the top end..... i've only known of one that achieved it but it was a 408, i cant remember the guys name, i havent seen him post in a long time, it was a black 03+ ecsb from california? its very hard to say cause a few of us are running different setups and work almost the same?

NA/FI it's going to take HP to cross the traps sub 12. You have it right, low 60' like <1.68 and speed > 108
How you go about doing it can differ, less weight will require less hp. Having your gearing perfect, shiftpoints, etc.
I dont remember any ECSB from CA running 11's. NA

good question ap!!!

this one i am willing to try, if it takes hp to get through the traps, then would be adding cutouts be worth some horsepower? if hp is what its gonna take i'll figure where i can grab more.

gotta throw in there a good night and a good tail wind will help out also. working on the shift points and gearing now along with a new stall.

before my heads were untouched with a 226/226 cam, now my stock 317's are milled down .030 and i have a 228/232 cam? compression should of bumped up some with the heads being milled, but i still think it wont be enough for me to gain 4-5mph..... i'll be happy if it runs the same and not slower!!

yeah, skeet im pretty sure some cutouts will help out alot, a setup like yours needs to get rid of some air quick.... and you are right a very good night in the negative DA will also have to be achieved...
