None taken, I realize that even most of the big modders around here don't run 11's but I think that's because they're more prone to tinkering with their engines trying to learn something new.
Before the transmission rebuild, flywheel, and clutch, I ran a 13.7. I figure I'm running about 13.3 with them (shifting is WAY better especially from 1st to 2nd). As I said, with the Map Tun kit (which will put me at 285hp or so) I'm expecting high 12's. Once I upgrade the suspension, hopefully mid 12's due to the better launch. From there, the intercooler, ported and polished head, upgraded fuel system, thermal exhaust coating, and water injection will likely bring me into to the low 12's. Those are just my plans for the next year or two, from that point I'll probably decide where to go, whether it be forged pistons and rods for higher boost, or what, it won't take a lot to get me down to high 11's. I realize that this is sounding more like a dream than a plan, but time will tell. People overestimate what it takes to get high 11's, I've seen stock-chassis 350hp Hondas do it, there's no reason my 450hp Saab won't be able to.
