Now of course not, looking to build up the performance now with the car but just pondering. Is it possible to build my car to be a mid to high 11second 1/4 naturally aspirated and still have some decent liveability with regards to it being a street car on 93 octane? I saw that a stage 3 cam car makes just over 500 to the wheels, which is the same as a stock ZR1 dynos so that is like a 50% increase in power without a blower. Pretty damn respectable I my book. But I assume that is really pushing the limits of it being something you can enjoy for a commuter car. Thanks for any input guys, hope everyone is having a good weekend. Going to hit the weights now.

This. I've already done it my last outing to the track and that was on 20 inch DR's with nothing more than a hpipe, axleback and a tune.

Not only is it realistic, it's very easy. You don't need to do anything to the engine at all.

Off road pipe, converter, Roush upper control arm, good wheels/tires at the track, good calibration. Goal met, you'll run 11s in any weather.

When wbt first got his auto car, I did a calibration and he had wheels/tires only. It was good weather, but it went 11.88 with nothing more than that.

Agree with all this.

Should have clarified. Not sure if by wheels and tires, you mean a drag only setup. I mean being to run these times on 100% street wheels and tires.

As I said, I did it on the 20's I street drive on.

Thats all determined by traction and the driver mod.

**Dan12GT** · 11-16-2013, 05:43 PM

As stated very very doable. I am trapping 11 second mph I just need the wheels/tires to help me get there. I am catback and Airaid intake, stock tune by the way.

Cot damn. I've seen several reviews and acceleration tests put these cars just under 13sec 1/4 miles. I'm guessing the cars doing that are the ones with 3.73 gears. Mines an auto so it won't be as fast as you guys with the better gearing. So I am thinking I would need a little more than a tune and mid pipe.

Think a stock auto over on svtp did the 1/4 in the mid 12 second range @111 or 112ish. Insane!

I have only axle backs and my tires are just as crappy as stock with a road race spring and ran 12.6@111 so it's very doable

going to the track on stock tires and stock LCA's is a waste of time if you have a stick.. I couldnt get better than a 2.2 60' no matter what I did. So instead of beating around the bush I'm pretty much upgrading every piece of my stock suspension to BMR cause if you cant get a good 60' your just wasting your time dragracing..
Tires and rims will be next..
