Smile Formula for an 11 second Lightning?

Hello all! This is my first time posting here.

My question is what does everyone think the ideal formula to make a consistant 11 second Lightning would be?

Meaning....Exactly what parts and services would be needed to reach this level of performance.

I see a lot of people here running in the low 13's and high 12's. But I'm shooting for a daily driven 11 sec. truck. I'm a dedicated drag racer, but I see very little info about how to modify my 2000 Lightning to achieve this goal. I am totaly stock as of now, but that wont last long. I want a complete game plan before I start modding and don't want to buy the same part twice.

So, what do you all think?

Thumbs up

This one is easy:

-Chip (PSP, Johnny Lightning, JDM, Swanson)
-Filter Kit (Johnny Lightnings Stage II, ram air, and filter)
-Torque Converter (Percision Industries)
-Throttle Body (Single Blade Oval Bore)
-Lower Crank Blower Pulley (PSP)
-Drag Radials (BFG's, or Mickey Thompson ET Streets)
-Nitrous (NOS, or NX)
-Weight Reduction (i.e. taking off your tail gate, bed cover [if there is one], spare tire, tow hitch, passenger seat)
-Drive shaft loop (safety reasons)
-JL's intercooler cooler (Power Cooler)
-90 MM air meter

Did I leave anything out guys and gals???

Cool

I see that people on this board are running similar combos, but they are only hitting low 12's. Are you sure that would get me there? What about a tranny shift kit?

Anything else? Does anybody know someone who runs 11's consistantly? If so, do they have a mod list or a web page or anything?

The people that are running 12's aren't using the NOS with that setup, at least not what I've seen. Spiro99SVT on the F150online has gone 11.40 with a 150 shot. Here's his signature...

'12.373 @ 110.15
Best 60' 1.72
@ 4700 w/out the Go-Go juice

11.94 @ 115.31 with 100 shot Go-Go juice @ 4700 lbs.

11.40 @ 113 with 150 shot(on the brakes)NOT BACKED UP!
4700 lbs.
