yeah dude, you should have no probs. work on your launch! when i had just a lid, catback, freemods and spec clutch, i pulled a 2.06 60' and a 12.97@110mph. with mods in sig, and before 4.11s best i was doing was 12.70s with a 1.9X 60's consistent.
R/T's have nothing to do with your 1/4 mile times. the only thing a good R/T is good for is getting the other guy off the light.. 19lbs in left rear tire, 17lbs in right rear. slip clutch quickly at 3500-4000 RPM, that oughta get you off the line decent. and how fast do you shift? i can shift quick or just str8 up powershift it. lol

get some stickier tires, remove excess weight, run with a 1/4 tank of gas or less (not empty of course), let the car cool after runs, don't sit in the staging lanes with the car running, launch without excess wheelspin, hit your shifts right and violla!! Instant 12's!! Make sure to watch the weather too. The weather has a huge effect on my car. Last August I was running 13.6-13.7. In October/November with no other changes, my car ran a 13.04. With no other changes again, this March I ran a 12.94.
