Default Finally here!!

Finally made my first 12 sec pass on sat 29th at red river raceway. Took me 7 months, on my 3rd clutch, 2nd rearend(both counting stock) from the time i decided i was no longer gonna let the car stay stock. Here is how the run went.
rt .310
60' .1.917
330 5.482
1/8 8.367
mph 85.10
1000 10.828
1/4 12.900
mph 107.98

Took a little bit of playing with the tires and luanch to get it. The car still had just a little more. I couldnt seem to keep it from falling on its face after the launch. Had some wheel hop too. Felt good tho. Car has never left that hard off the line before. Oh well, I got what i set out to do. Thanks for everyones help on ls1tech for helping me with all my installs!!!!

not sure. I know the 9" takes more power to turn. But i went with 4.30 gears. So what ever i lost the gears made up for. I saw a .4 differnce in my times with the 9". But i definitley wont worry bout breaking it like i did the 10 bolt
