Default Finally 12's

First run in the 12's(barely) tonight.
60'=2.207 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
330=5.702
1/8=8.515@88.01
1000=10.924
1/4=12.961@110.85
Weather stats-71*F,78% humidity(Florida) p=30.13" no wind

Beat a juiced pony that ran 13.342
2001 SS 6M
MODS: SLP tuned lengths, random tech cats, Corsa cat-back, direct-flo lid, slp maf, MAFT, SLP timing advance, poly-trans mount, 160 t-stat, fan-switch,!ASR,!CGS,!jack&spare, !filter, BMR SFCs&LCAs, 3.73's
BFG-KDWs, 40 front, 22 rear

Spun ALL the way through first and into second. This could have been a great run, guess new shoes are next! Is anyone running 4.10's and DR's on stock rear(hopefully next mods)? Also, I have heard about weather affecting cars, the weather appeared to be bad, muggy, would I have ran faster on a nice night? All comments welcome, after all, some of you helped me get here!(Still not TOTALLY happy with ET, BUT, nice to say my baby is 12's, even if it was only one.)

Thanks again guys!

Congrats on 12's <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Practice those 60's. From 1 M6'er to another, you need to find the sweet spot for clutch, track conditions, tire used, and your launch.

Next you'll want to do one of these:

Excellent job <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
With alittle practice and better 60's you should push mid 12's.

Congratulations on breaking the twelve's. Worked on your 60' and you will dived further into the twelve's. With the mods you have, there is more room in there for the ET. Try different launches on the m6. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
