Only got two runs in @ Pittsburgh Raceway Park Aug 2nd. Second and last run was the only full pass. ET's were no good because I completely messed up on the tree but the MPH's were decent for the combo and tune settings.
83.8mph @1/8mi and 108mph @ 1/4mi.
Quick combo rundown:
Stock '85 hot air longblock with '86-7 stock cam, heads never been off, comp 980 springs
VW front mount IC, 5869(pt53) @ 30psi
Blowthru carb, single plane intake, Aftermarket SS headers
Alkycontrol 93pump gas 17*ign timing all gears. 10.0-10.2 AFR
Ea2004r ptc10" s stall, 3.42's old 26" tall slicks
Launched off Tbrake @3500 with 8psi.

From what I see most others do with these MPH's I should be mid to low 12's.
Following the 11.18et recipe of KevinB from '07 I sure I can be close to matching it with more Ign timing(25-26) race gas, 28"tall tires and more practice, perhaps even launching harder.
 
What was the 60' Adam? Even if you missed the light the 60' is a good indicator of your potential.
 
The 60ft time is worthless info on that last pass Charlie. 5.6 60ft on the slip LoL. The first pass was 2.3 60ft while spinning/smoking the street tires the entire time 'till I got out of it.
 
That's what I expected Adam.:( With the tires not getting the traction you need I honestly believe you've got a mid 11's car if you can get the tires to stick.;)
