Does anyone feel high 11's NA are possible with the 370?

I know we have a few low 12's and one 12.24. I know they likely had all of the NA mods possible, but I don't know about any sort of

Default Does anyone feel high 11's NA are possible with the 370?

I know we have a few low 12's and one 12.24. I know they likely had all of the NA mods possible, but I don't know about any sort of weight reduction or how much.

With more stuff coming out and the possibility of the VVEL getting cracked (hopefully) who feels high 11's are possible?

I'm just curious, just for the sake of debate.

No...simple answer. Jason (Jnaut) who ran the 12.24 had every bolt on AND an aggressive then and he could drive. Gaining another 1/4 of a second would be near impossible.

Add drag radials to Jnaut's car and with optimal track conditons, I THINK he might be able to pull of a 11.99.

This. I think maybe 11.99 is the best we could hope for if Jnaut get's some drag radials, maybe any weight reduction or something he hasn't done so already (which I doubt), and get absolutely perfect conditions for that one run.

Although I think he'd really need a set of ET Streets and a hot launch to pull it off. Of course that brings up the question of whether or not the rear end could handle a 5-6k launch on the MT's, and of course whether or not the car has enough torque to power through.

I'm pretty sure he was on RE-11s and pulled a 1.89 60'? Drag radials on an NA car with minimal power won't get much better than that 60'.

If he could pull a 1.6 that would help ... I don't know how hard that is with RWD though... with the RE-11's, that's an excellent and sticky tire, so aside from going DR's I don't think you can do much better in that area IMO of course.

With the torque curve the way it is, dr's can slow the car down a lot of times due to bogging. More grip isn't always better.

Actully ryan on the re-11's my best 60ft is a 1.81.

For me to run 11.xx i would have to do major weight reduction with a 5 or 6k launch, then maybe if nothing breaks. Truthfully it would take a perfect night,perfect track and perfect driving( which I've got that covered, lol).
