Yesterday I double entered two classes: Prodial on a 5/ 10s pro tree and sportsman on a 5/10s full tree, I deep stage for a Pro tree and did also in Sportsman. Foot braking, my stop was set to run mid 11.40s yesterday. Last year my first round opponent messed with me in staging and intentionally tried to run me first round, I don't know why he did but I lost. Well first round of Pro Dial yesterday I had him again. I had a 11.45 on the window, he had an 11.56, I dialed up to an 11.55 he took forever to stage again, I left on him and just stayed ahead a little all the way down track but should have taken a little less stripe, I scrubbed 6 mph and probably would have went 11.46 all out.

Second round of Sportsman, class is 11.50 and slower but didn't want to change stop ( I was set up to run mid 11.40s) and I scrubbed 5 mph, but I didn't mind losing to a friend , she ended up Winning the Eliminator last night

My duster is 3310 with me and a big block 525Hp and 552 TQ 3500 stall with 3.73 gear and a 275 drag radial. As a reference my engine builder used a Moroso slide rule and came up with an 11.62@116 as a number for me. After looking at your data, i am thinking 11.92 ish?

Probably need more stall/ smaller converter and more rear gear to really fly
 
I just ordered a new TCS 9.5" Converter be here next week. This is mostly a street car, so i went on the conservative side.
 
My biddies Scamp has a mild wedge and runs 11.70's. He just got the line lock and trans brake working and is getting used to it all. He took a big nap. I think he has a 3000 chip in the box. It sounds like it would be happier leaving at 4000 or so. Still a fun ride.
