12 Second Club - So close to 11's!

Well before last night the fastest I'd had the car was 13.1. Before I loaded it on the trailer last night I'd clicked off several low 12 passes ending with a best of 12.1@113. 1.74 60'. I was hoping for mid 12's, so even though I left with an issue, I'm very happy. I even lifted the tires on a couple of passes. :guns:

98 T/A M6 w/ lid, ls6 intake, 1 7/8 lt's, & Magnaflow exhaust were the only power adders. Put to the ground through A TDP trans, Monster clutch, and a MWC 9"

Buddies have videos, so I'll post them as I get them.

This was the first pass of the night. 12.6@111 1.9 60'

GETTIN IT!!!! Good Job Bro! 1.6x 60' and you'll be in the 11's.. Is your car Tuned???

Nice!! That's ideal. What was the DA and how much does the car weigh?

What gear are you running? and what what was the 1/8 ET & MPH???

Partially, by myself.

DA 1448. I'd guess weight to be around 3500 somewhere, but not sure.

What gear are you running? and what what was the 1/8 ET & MPH???

3.89 gear; 7.8@89.5

Thats movin! Straight GETTIN IT! good shiftin too dude. seems not too many people can drive worth a damn and wonder why they are stuck in the 13's

You deffinately got the mph for 11s. You got you a strong car for the mods you got.Looks like you are trying to come out to hard.Try to come out a little easier and see what happens.looks like its bogging off the clutch.

Where do you have the 2-step set at???

6300rpm tires at 21psi.

Very nice man, stout car for sure!

car definitely bogged off the line....track was prepped awesome.....

What is your MWC rear adjusted at, I will be going to the track soon with mine. I've got my control arms in the lowest hole and my torque arm (Long Version) second from the top with a -1 pinion angle. My car is basically same mods as you but with 4.10s, I couldnt do anything better than a 2.2 60ft on stock suspension hoping to do much better.

if you leave at a higher rpm you should have it. Seems like your car bogs to much off the line

I have my control arms second hole from the bottom. The rest of the setup is the same as yours except I have Strange adjustables all around. Start @ 21 psi hot and if you hook there go up a few lbs. My first pass that night at 15psi and 4500 on the 2 step got me a 1.9 60'.

you list nitrous outlet in your sig , but your trap doesnt look like a sprayed trap....

good job on the et drop from your last trip:cheers:

I did but on only on the last couple of passes. Had traction issues on the first pass (2.2 60') and 2nd pass developed a loud tick. All the listed times were NA at 21* of timing.

At first I was going to call BS with those times w/ little mods...I didnt see you are spraying! lol..

To clarify, I made 9 passes with out Nitrous @ 21 deg of timing. These 9 passes net'd me a best time of 12.1@113. I then made 2 nitrous passes and neither was clean and resulted in bad times.

12.1@113 was done on motor....without nitrous.

Just realized I didn't put the cam in the description on mods. Also had a 221/221 cam.
