Wow I just finished reading this post from start to finish!
Motor looks good. I love a good engine bay.
And you did make the mid 11's. Good work.
Probably could go a lot faster if you spent a bit of that mullah on the suspension set up, not just the motor.
Hopefully the people flamming you will respond to your new times. Unfortunately they arent world beaters. But they are better and show more potenial. Were you happy with the runs? As that MPH is still a little short of the mark.
