Running 11's on pump gas

Hey guys, my goal is to run high 11's with just pump gas. Has it been done yet? If so how reliable are the cars that have done it. I don't want a car that has 600hp or anything fansy like that. I just want a high 11's reliable car that still drives well. Thanks for all the input.

It hasn't been done yet. Octane plays a significant role. For pump gas you would need something more than the bolt-ons currently available. I'm sure someone does it in the next months though.

it'll be real hard for u too get into the 11's without racegas. Why not run race gas, its better for ur motor when u run high boost maps. The only way ur getting into the 11's is with a racegas map and race gas. Full bolt on's do help aswell.

We ran 11s on 91oct and meth injection. But i don't think that would have been possible on just straigh 91. If conditions were very favorable and perhaps with an automatic. But even that is a stretch at this point. At least without upgraded turbos.

Get the latest piggy back, rip out the back seats, rip out the front passenger seat, rip out all the sound deadening material, replace stock doors with CF doors, remove all stereo equipment.
You are guaranteed to be in the 11's. (The car would still drive well, you didn't say anything about comfort)

You'll need race tires to do it and prob meth with a bunch of other supporting parts. People have done it. Hot weather 11s would be very tough without meth.

It would take a monster amount of power to do it on real street tires with just RWD. AWD is a different story.

why are people suggesting meth when its clearly not "pump gas" and defeats the purpose of this thread?

....also remove boot and bonnet...the following are not really important but should be considered: JB31.4 race map 11; FMIC; slicks; Catless DPs; freeflow exhaust; freeflow filter/s. All this will cost a shitload of money before you have even started the car....

Full bolts on and just pump gas; nearly impossible.
You will need bigger turbos.

Easy

Its Very possible to do 11sec. 1/4 with pump gas. The landing from the drop from the plane is the problem...were working on that as we speak.

Even with significant weight reduction to achieve high 11s or flat 12, stock twin won't last too long anyway.
