Default IIRC the old record was 10.89
1/8th mile goes by in a hurry when hitting 106-108 mph in 7 seconds.

It depends on what you are going for and what your set up is really...

Default Well rev limiter really plays a big roll
with a 8500 rpm rev limiter the 2.8 gearing just be comes too tall. Just best to pick the right trans with the correct gearing for what the car is being used for.

Default Right now 225/45/17 BFG drag radials.
Might be time for a set of tires that look more like slicks, hell I would put 4 sticky slicks on the car if I could find the right size.
