Default New times what do you think?

Times are in the sig. I think the car should be a little faster for the mods(cutout,FTRA and nittos). I think the da was around +1000 .I cant get the car to 60ft any better.I have launched at 5500 on a dead hook it still bogs.I have tried higher and it still bogs i dont know what to get to 60ft better?I just ordered a lid and Nos 5177 kit.Im hopeing with a lid to be around a 12.50.Do you think with a lid i will see a 12.50?

12.80 at 109 is pretty good for your mods. Your 60 ft. could use some help. If your car bogs you need to come down on your launch rpms or put a cam in her to make more power.

Im thinking about putting some 4.10's in i think it will help on the launch.I only picked up .07 and o mph with fasttoys i think it might not help to much with out a lid.Do you think 12.50 is doable with a lid and a better 60ft?

I personally would get some lower control arms & some 4.10's. I got similar mods to you (stock engine) on manifolds and do a little better in the 60ft. I've been dumping the clutch around 4-5000 rpm's and launching real good. I'm using BFG drag radials for tires.

I think a 12.50 is quite realistic for you with a simple gear change and some LCA's, Fred

12.5 would be cake w/ a lid and 4.10's! If your bogging you need to raise your launch rpm not lower it.
