Am I capable of 12s? Last night I went 13.6@107 with a shiddy 2.3 60'.
Heres the timeslip line for line.

What are the most effective launch techniques for our cars? BTW im running stock SS wheels with regular PSI.

Re: Am I capable of 12s? ill help ya with what to do on tires..
put 26psi in them, and 44 up front(helps weight transfer)
make sure you go around the water box!! do not get those tires wet. Once around water box, just drop the clutch and do a small 2-3 sec spin up to the tree.
you dont need to heat stock tires, just clean them off. Ill leave the launching to the M6 guys in here.

Re: Am I capable of 12s? I'm having the same problem with my 60ft times. I have the stock GSA's and they are very bad at traction. My best 60ft was 2.10 and i got that by spinning a little bit of the line. I think i had the RPM around 2K and then i slipped the clutch. I think if u do the same move u will get better traction due to ur 17 SS rims with the 275's in the back. Its a good idea to lower the pressure in your rear tires too. 26 or 24psi is good. Lower than that i think it might affect ur trapspeed, but might improve ur ET time by reducing ur 60ft.
