Im gettin it together, about to get it smogged finally, had a lot of work to do on it. I am gonna keep it N/A, should hopefully run into the 11's on motor w/ some 4.10s.

My car is so bad right now, I can roll into the throttle at all and at any speed in 2nd gear and it just spins the tires like mad, right up to the limiter. My tires are old and bald, I need to get some DR's. I wish I could just drive slicks on the streeet :)

MT Streets?
 
Maybe I missed it somewhere down the line, but I thought you you used to have some MT Streets. Maybe you burnt'em up, hee, hee?

Dont bother with Nittos they will not hold a 330RWHP car.

Out of curiosity what makes you think that a Notch with less than 300RWHP will run an 11.

Theres no way my car has 330rwhp, that dyno was off, my car probably has about 300, to be trapping around 108-109.

Well the notch has 2.73's now w/ full exhaust and a MAF and it atleast feels as quick as my saleen.

My buddy raced a 97 cobra in it w/ all the bolt-ons, which traps 105 and it pulled it easily. So I think w/ some pulleys and a power pipe, then add some gears (those motors love gear) I dont see why 11's are outta reach. A lot of people hit low 12's in a heavy 96-98 cobra. I could be wrong, but I'm hoping.

I had some ET Drags, last time at the track after I put all the interior back in my car and the cage the best it ran was a 12.4. I had tuned it up a bit and was hoping for lower 12's, I got pissed off and sold the tires and wheels. I did make a good deal on em tho.

what do you mean?
 
"Nittos won't hold 330 rwhp"???

i run Nittos on both my Mustangs.
both are around 450 rwhp (the cobra dyno'd 453 RWHP/380rwtq)

so much for that idea, eh?

Anyhoo....
 
Anyhoo, I'm glad to see you still have the Saleen. Do you still have the GF, now that's the important part, LOL.

Roast his ***, I use BFG 255/50/16's on my pony's and I cut 1.8X 60ft's and that is with about 500rwhp now. They work ok, but with the new upgrades this winter and ET streets I hope to go 10's but well see.

Just get some tire, because power is nothing without control.
