SOHC Busting 11's. Whats It Take?

Re:SOHC Busting 11's. Whats It Take?
I really don't think it would be that hard to hit 11's with a SOHC. I could probably run 11's if I bought some forged rods/pistons and got a slightly bigger turbo (I don't think my current t3 60 trim .60/.48 would get me 11's, but it might come close, mid to low 12's, maybe?).
I already have the slicks, LSD, clutch, exhaust, decent springs/shocks, motor mounts... The only thing I could think of I need is a good external WG and maybe some kind of 2 stage boost controller. I mean I am still on the stock d16z6 and I shouldn't have a problem running high 12's next time I go to the dragstrip, keep in mind this is a full interior coupe. My first time ever at the track on slicks I ran a 13.3 @ 102 mph, and I know I could do better than that now. My second time at the track I was on drag radials and ran a 13.4 @ 105 mph, both times I had the boost at 10psi and I plan on running 12-14psi next time I go.

Re:SOHC Busting 11's. Whats It Take?
a 11 sec slip just isnt handed to you, it takes a good set of parts and decent driver. How important is reliabilty? When I'm at the track the last think I want to do is blow up my motor and bring it home to put another one in. So be sure this thing is tuned solid! A few gallons of 118 never hurts either
The 300whp in the 2000lb car is normally a given 11 sec car. Some people can do it less, some people can do 9 sec passes on 350whp. It just depends on how the car is setup. Like I mentioned above, I'd definatly go with a nice aftermarket cam like a Gude. I'd do a nice custom sheet metal intake manifold (not a skunk2 im). I'd probably dish out the bucks for a Precision turbo too, but I'm sure a standard t3/t4e w/ a 57 or 60 trim should get you there too. I wouldnt go to low on the compression, probably 9.0 to 9.5ish. Set of eagle rods and CP/JE or Roller wave pistons are all really nice and can hold plenty of power you throw at them.
The Lsd and slicks are going to be your most important part, I think a nice set of 24.5in slicks with a Quaife lsd or maybe even one of those OBX lsd's since they seem to be holding up should be the way to go.

Re:SOHC Busting 11's. Whats It Take?
---- you guys got me pumped, I think i might be able to hit an 11 sec slip myself now
Im using a T3 .60/.63, hotrex ramhorn, venom intake mani, 24" slicks, 9.6-8:1 compression, head fully worked, D16a6.
I just bought a direct port kit to. Was thinking of spraying a 50 shot or something.
Would you guys sugest going to a ball bearings or soemthing bigger? Im happy with the condition of my .60/.63, car is daily driven, maybe around 16-17psi
PUMPED!
