Who has went the fastest with...?

I haven't ran the car yet since I've done the heads. If you don't do the heads you HAVE to use a 28" tire to run this fast. My car wouldn't go over 114 with 26" tires.
Weather was nice, about 65 degrees, with low humidity. Intercooler was cool to the touch before I ran, track was a little slippery. This was also with skinny front tires. It only went 11.66@117.77 with T wheels up front.
Also, My TA49 has a Garrett housing. I'd like to try a Precision housing next season to see if it makes a difference.

My theory is if you are using a 12 inch converter, if you are not launching the car hard(10psi +) they will potentially slow you down since it is harder to spin a 28 inch tire vs 26 inch tire. Up till now I have ran my car on a 26 inch tire and have went 11.8@115 on 275-50-15 bfg launching soft(4-7psi), I plan on going to 28 inch slick and launching the car hard(10 psi ++) and see what she will do.

there have been people go in the 10's with a 44, although I don't know any specifics.
I do know that Lonnie Diers GN went something like 10.99 on a 49.

For the record..
I watched a car with a te-44 with the 82 Garret housing, 12 inch red strip converter, mild head work with stock valves, stretch stock location IC, 009's go 11.3@118, and then he got greedy and turned the giggle gas on(75 shot) and went 10.7@125.
This was on a 26 inch et street in low 50 degree weather.

Red's,
Are these Nittos? I have 235/60 BFG Drag Radials on the back of my car for the street and they are 28" tall. Same height as my 28" x 10.5" MT ET Drags.

I run 28x9.0 M/T that are actually 27.3 in dia. I used to run 26. With the PTE exhaust housing and taller tire I need to launch at 10 psi or the 60' is slow. The 11.43 was with a clear blue sky and temp in the 50's. The car weighs 3750 with me in it and 1/2 tank gas.

On my old car (GN) which made right at 525 HP I used a 28" tire with no problems pulling them at all. Matter of fact, I picked up a few MPH going up to the 28" over the 26"ers that were on it before I upped the size. I never locked the converter and ran 125.6 MPH on its best pass. Now with my new car (TTA), which has the 3.23 gear, I'm a little hesitant on trying the 28" tire untill I know it's making in the upper 400 HP range. I make all my passes with this car with the TCC locked up. Unlocked, the car will instantly drop 3 MPH like clock work.

11.21 @ 121MPH
TE-44
Kenne-Bell front mount
ported heads
200/200 cam
40lbs injectors w/7th injector
28" tires w/ 3.73 gears
This is my dad's car. It was about five years ago since we had this combo. He used a TE-60 to get to 10.90's.
My car has been 11.59 @ 116MPH.
I had a stock intercooler & 26" tires. Same turbo & injectors.

I went 11.43 @121. With a 1.61 60ft, Stage Right trans brake and 26x10`s.
BTW...my car was a dog on 28`s with the stock motor and small turbo. It is my OPINION that 28`s are to much with a small turbo. 63 and up, is a totally different story.
Build-up:
te-44 w/ Precision 63 housing, CAS V-2, 009`s, 70mm and Hemco, D-5 stalled @ 3000, Red`s 107 chip, 24 psi, stock cam stock heads, never opened with 90,000 miles.
Anyone looking for a Stage Right? I have a couple to sell for $120 including shipping.
Thanks,
