my best time out of 4 runs was 12.83 with a 1.90 60 ft.

the previous owner had a best of 12.3 im still getting used to getting this launch perfect but i keep spinning but if i try to feather it, itll just be a bad 1/4 time

i think after these nitto dr's go bad im going to give hoosier DR's a try

anyone know how many tenths i can knock off if i switch from 3.42s to 3.73s??

mods? also, the gear change won't help you if you are having any trouble launching the way it is. If the old owner ran a 12.3 then you're best investment would be to take the gear money and spend it on track time.

honestly a 12.3 should be a bad day at the track with the setup you have let alone a 12.8. you should be atleast in the mid 11's with whats you have. first things first get those nitto's off that car. they cant handle the power your putting out now. Look into either the hoosiers or m/t's and then give it a stab. Your 60 ft should be in the 1.5's with your setup as well so roughly .4 off your 60' will knock .8 off you time so that right there will bring you to a 12.0

Car doesn't seem to be running too well lol.

I'll tell you right off the bat you need to do a longer burnout. The Nitto's will do just fine, you just need to heat them up more. I would count 5 once you see smoke coming off the tires. Also what pressure are you running them on?

the car only trapped 112, he will need a badass 60' to get anywhere in the 11s. i don't see it happening on those wheels regardless of tire. i feel that a h/c ls1 should trap 118-120. i'd be concerned about the trap speed first and foremost, it has an issue somewhere.
