What supercharger? Tires? Auto? Not enough info. LPE Maggie C5 when tested by C&D did 11.7 and 125 or thereabouts. That was with no intercooler..... 490 - 500 hp New ones are 560 and 600 hp

I will say if you get traction high 11`s at low 120`s, no traction low 12`s in the mid 120`s......GOOD LUCK !
What type of S/C do you have and also do you have any other mods?

Suggest making passes in Traction System Off. That's one push of the console button. Even then, it the car gets loose, lift the throttle. Better to abort a pass than visit the wall.
It will take 20-30 passes to get comfortable in the car under full acceleration. The goal for the first 10 passes is to get down the track safely without breaking parts. If you manage that, the track sessions will be a success, whatever the ET/traps are.
The harder you push the car in the first 10 passes, the greater the likelihood of an incident.

If you have never raced at a track before then PLEASE do what Ranger suggested.
Talk to people before you race too and watch what others are doing.
Learn track etiquette and it'll make your experience a lot better also.
No one breaks records their first time out, so take it easy

11's second passes
I am with Ranger on the first few launches that you will need some practice. You will wheelspin the first few and then you'll fix that but leave the line at not full power the next few. It took me a good 4 to 5 runs to get the launch right and then and now I am running 11.40 back to back with room for alittle improvement still. I run with Jeff (schilitj) and he has gotten his car down from that 11.19 to 11.0xx and just missed the high 10's. Don't be pi$$ed if you see a few 12's and even a 13 at first with the bad 60 footer. If I have a bad start and spin alot I just abort that run and get back into line for the next run. GOODLUCK as I know you'll enjoy the new power of yours. Charlie C6

All I can say is with run flats don't get upset if you run slower than you did stock, with a higher MPH. I have seen it dozens of times, seat time and tires will change everything for you. Good luck

high 12s and spinning are easy
