Default Finally in the 12s

Well I went down to the track again last friday and I went from running a best 13.314 @ 110.09 w/ 2.263 60', to adding only Drag Radials and running a 12.852 @ 110.55 w/ a 1.953 60'. Hey I'll take a half a second off any day.

Not too bad considering my mods: Lid, cut out, 4.10s, crank pulley.

BTW-car weighed in at 3190 w/o me (but then again I add 260 lbs to it )

I was actually able to borrow my buddie's DRs, and I think they are the 255/50 16s. But they are basically slicks now (no tread at all), and boy do they get sticky

congrats on entering the 12s! Hint: you'll always want to go faster now that you've knocked down one door!

Man, that's the truth. I'm already dreaming of the day I'm in the 8 sec range (very, very, very, very far away )
