Drag racing, help please!!!

Here is my best run:
r/t .515
60' 1.772
330 5.183
1/8 7.839
MPH 94.87
1000 10.127
1/4 12.026
mph 119.50

I had Nitto DR, and Apexi turbo with all the mods.
My question is: Without any other mod, can I get in low 11s?
And if YES, about where?
Thanks
DAN

Dude your tires are your set back right now. I have never liked them. Although, those are impressive numbers, you can still improve. Quicker shifts, and maybe better optimizing your shift points will yield in smoother acceleration. did you play with tire pressure? Do you want to make your car a little lighter, how bout yourself, could you stand to lose a few pounds. You're sooo close. Nitrous would definitely put you there, if you don't mind that route.

That run tells me you cut a good 60' (1.7) and 1/8 mile was good.but your time should be lower.....a 119 trap is mid/low 11's. You might of had a headwind on the track or at high elevation....but I doubt in Chicago

true that.

1.6's are possible with BfGoodrich drag radials. Constantly. you won't get consistency with your nitto's, since they get harder as they wear down.

IS you car maintaining boost at the top end of the power band?
Did you miss a shift?
does seem like your 1/8 was great, but then your car didn't accelerate as quickly down the road.

You can easily run a 11.40 with that trap speed. Learn how to drive........
