He's killing me by almost .5 and 5 mph! Next you'll say he's got a stock Y, cats, and no cut-out! That's got to be at sea level....What about his raceweight? WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I just beat that with 12.09 at 114.43 mph I was told that I now am the fastest but I just wanted to be sure. My car is a loaded Z, t-tops and electric everything.

Would you mind listing the entire slip, so we can see 1/8 mile info on that same run too and 60'?

My best time has been a 12.39 @111 mph. with a 1.84 60' on Nitto 555 street tires. No weight reductions other than spare tire and jack. I have since installed a ported throttle body. I also have a ls6 intake to install. Maybe going to the track tomorrow night to try for a new best.

For that raceweight are you considering some cold air injection as a bolt on?

My car went 12.43@114 with stock manifolds gutted cats, lid, free mods, and short belt on DRs with front runners up front. My car weighed 3400 lbs with me in it and made just over 350 at the wheels. I was cutting 1.80 60 foots as well At TX Motorplex that day.

The car is very stout to say the least. I'm fairly certain hes gonna suprise a few people once he gets a converter. The car runs especially well when you consider that it is not totally gutted. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
