12 Second Club - Bummed.. 12.78@116

Car put down 436/396. Since then I have just added a LS1 lid and 3.73 gears. Running Nitto 555r's. First pass was at 35 psi cause I forgot to let out pressure. Put a total of 6 runs in.. 1252 DA.


12.78@116.41 2.14 60'

12.88@116.38 2.06 60'

12.99@116.69 2.09 60'

13.27@116.09 2.28 60'

13.30@116.08 2.24 60'

13.69@99 2.25 60'

I don't like to make excuses but the track kept going to shit. My last run I went sideways going into 4th and just put the brakes on. My heart was set on a 11.99 or a 120 mph trap and I'm far from both. I guess I'm going to start taking care of the suspension since I modded backwards. I'm still amazed at these guys with bolt ons and 400rwhp running low 12s and high 11s.

WOW u need to work on those 60ft times ! get some drag radials

I was running 17" nitto 555r's at about 18psi.. first run was 35psi cause I forgot to let the air out. I'm just concern about the trap speed. Does it not seem a little low for the mods/hp? The only thing for weight removed is HVAC deleted/no spare or jack.

Your mph will increase if you can hook on the starting line. Get that 60' down around 1.7-1.8 and you'll see high 11s at around 120.

With that power you should be going with bias ply tires with an m6. Adjustable LCA's, Subframe connectors should help out also...

What rpm are you leaving the line at? You slam and punch it threw all gears?

I am in the same boat. My 60s suck.
Think I am going to finally do some suspension work.
My times are in my sig.

1st time at the track with my car I went a few high 12's @ 115. Best time was 12.62 @ 115 2.30 60ft 400rwhp 6spd This is my weekend car and really dont want to break the rear.

60' have to get better...i ran Nittos for a while and cut 1.6 60's on spray and ran 11.8 ...mine is a 93 with basic bolt ons...but if you can get out of the whole your done and if your spinning in 4th you need to heat them puppies up better...i roasted mine in the box...John Force style...im now running ET Streets and im hoping for 11.5's w/ 1.4-1.5 60's...

U Just need a better tire to hook like a M/T ET Street Radial or something along that like !!!!!

I put on a line lock and went back. Ran high 12s@117 all day. My last run I took the 555rs down to 18psi and pulled a 12.5@115 2.0 60' still spinning bad. Got a lot of wheel hop and was expecting a 13.0 slip. Check engine light came on so I didn't run anymore. Time for suspension, suspension and more suspension. 11 second slips don't come easy like I was expecting with 440rwhp. A lot of respect to the 11 second guys.

Keep at it and you'll get in the 11s. After you figure it out racing becomes fun instead of frustrating. I was stuck in the 12s until I figured out the launch and its been all 11 sec slips since then.
