Talking I Hit 12s Today With My Cam Only Car On Street Tires

Got me a new PB with the cam since i put Textalia Z grip clutch in. Kinda bummed about the mph though. Before when i had my stock clutch i did a 13.1 @ 113...

Fast forward to todays PB. As my car sits: (Mods are in sig) Full leather interior, 1/2 tank of gas, spare tire and jack still in the car.

My cars tires: Fronts - TTMs 17x9 275/40/17 Nitto 555 Extremes.. The rears were TTMs 17x10.5 315/35/17 Nitto Extremes.

I jsut was hoping my mph was going to be 118....

I launched the car slipping the clutch at 3K (stock 10 bolt)

60' - 2.0831
330' - 5.5082
1/8 ET - 8.2383
1/8 mph - N/A
1000' - 10.5751
1/4 - 12.5221
1/4 mph - 116.35

There are others on the board cam only running 12.5s with the same mph my car is the SLOW....

I knew that i would not break the 10 bolt feathering the clutch.. But i need some LCAs, T/A and maybe PHB....

We had a great time. What time did you guys get home?

Uhh yeah i am scared of the 10 bolt and M6 going boom too......

What do you mean Nitto call out?

I still think that my mph is still to low. I was looking at my time slip
from GLD. I ran a 13.1 @ 113 with my stock slipping clutch. So i only p/u 3 mph. I find that hard to beleive Plus i have your FTRA too.......

Maybe i can have you and rob totally seal my FTRA with silicone?

Where do you want me to post the vid. I get only 1 run for you both. And no one got any of my runs

Yes i have dyno sheets. So when my HP starts to drop on the graph shift shift a little higher up in the RPMs to throw me back in the powerband?

You were jsut getting ready to make a pass i think. I said bye to Rob and Lindsay. I had no idea where sara was..

We should all go to the track again

And i got to let people know that i was on street tires. When they see Nitto they automatically assume Nitto DRs
