That would probably be more like upper 11.4's in the 1/4.

What about timing?

Ya, I didn't know until after I put it in the car that things needed to be adjusted. We made no fuel or timing changes after I put the fuel in. :-/ I'm a dumbass. lol

I don't have the skates on my brake pads in the front. I use the Hawk pads.

Mid to high 11.4s depending on how it does in the top end of the track.

Yessir. I'm hoping with some good track prep and the tuning worked out, I can get a 7.1x out of it in the 1/8th. The DA wont get any better though. We'll see how it goes.

I'll be going 305/35/18 next time around. Looking at the tires after a few passes, I can see lots of rubber on the edges that isn't being used. We'll see how long these last then change them up.

[Juice2SS]

They are 4 pounds heavier than the 305s also. 27.5 inch overall for the 345s and 26.4 overall for the 305s. The gear change might have had an impact on my times also. Probable more in it with the 305s, the tune change, and better track prep.

[Rhino79]

Still pretty decent on stock heads in 3000 da

[Juice2SS]

There's more in it Ryan. We'll get it dialed in.

My house was broken into a couple weeks ago and they took my tuning laptop. Got another one today and I'm about to get EFI Live installed.

That's exactly what I told him too Terry. If you then convert that to 0 DA It's about 11.10 and then -1000da would be 10.9x theoretically speaking.
But that's just like it sits now. Adjust the tune, drop weight, take another couple tenths off! BOOM! Bad boy!

I'm ready to see that 1/4 mph man.

Ya, working the tune and dropping the weight should be the biggest difference. I still need it to hook up better. Rolling into the throttle netted some 1.67 60s. Flashing it off of 1800rpms seemed to get me the best roll outs. 1.63 was the best. It was a TNT day so they weren't prepping throughout the day. :-/

If I can get it to go 7.1 in this air, I'll be more than happy.

[Camarojt]

It's possible if you get it dialed in just right.

[Juice2SS]

All it takes is money and time. lol

Juice here's a tire you should've put on! That's 345 Tire is too big for 10 1/2 inch rim and 305 Tire will help your over all gearing.

[Juice2SS]

That one is next. I'm sure the weight and the contact patch I'm seeing if giving up a tenth overall. :-/ I'll take a pic of what I mean by that when I get home today.
