Default Looking for an 11 anything

I am looking to get an 11 anything tonight. My PB of 12.009 is what I have to beat tonight. The old PB my 60 was 1.7. I have beat that 60 with a 1.6. When I did this, I would of thought I would of beat my PB. I did not unfortunately. I wonder if it is even possible without some major mod now. I am going to do some weight reduction,other than what I have done already.I have removed the front swaybar,and radiator support changed to a steeda. I remove the passangers seat,rear seats,spare,jack and trunk carpet. Today I will :
1. Remove washer fluid tank
2. scrape the dampening stuff out of the trunk.
3. Remove the flaps on the under carriage that push air out of the back end,maybe not sure though.


ANY other thoughts on what I can remove?

You just about covered everything that can be done, I don't know if this applies to anything but front runners, but I've heard that some people put the tire pressure up front to like 40 psi to decrease roll resistance. Hopefully the weather is a bit cooler for you too.

Yes I run the fronts at 40 psi now and have for awhile. Yea I could loose a few pounds I am at 185 now ,50 may be to much though.

I am contemplating removing the AC, yet it is just to hot here.

Hey you do mma so how bout you cut some weight? J/K I'd leave the a/c on nothing is better than whipping up on some open headered stripped race car and than driving off with the a/c blasting besides I've visited New Mexico and you're right it is hot as hell over there. What do you run your bottle pressure at?

With the Zex kit I git it up to 1050 than purge and that is probably at 1000-950 at launch.Which is good for the Zex kit.Yea I am really only teaching MMA now because I am 44 and I do not heal as quickly. I do train hard and love to eat. So I am about 10 lbs over weight. Not a big deal to drop though.I can do it in 12 hours,and not feel drained.

How long ago was it you just wanted 12 anything?
You might try getting rid of that heavy nitrous bottle in the trunk, it is weighting you down!

I am not sure Reggie , I believe it is 1/4 inch, which is whatever came with the Zex kit. I will have to check into this and get back to you. I looked into it and 4 an is all I got.

IT did not go well at all since I was unable to fill my bottle. I had a little left in it and just went out and had fun anyways. I forgot what it is all about. FUNNNNN

I had some great runs just on the motor also. I managed to pull off two 12`s on a very weak bottle. 13;697 ,13:87 on the motor. I had a lot of fun though so that is what counts. I did have a check engine light come on the way home. No big deal just a failing alternator. My bottle heater may have caused it`s demise.

That's okay, at least you remembered to have fun. That's what it's about (frustrating) but you had fun.
