You either can't drive or there is something wrong with the car..

I ran a 12.9 with a lid and exhaust..

Your could really use some good tires and a tune. That setup should be low 12's high 11's.

My stock firehawk ran a 12.9, and its automatic. You need a dyno tune, something is wrong.

Cool! Nice to see that you're happy but I'm sure your car can do better. Nice setup man.

yes i 100% agree it should be low 12's high 11's with money tight tires and money for tuning just wasent there I spent for a minor tune and went out to see what she would run on a shitty tune just minor things tuned "full tune "comming as i have a huge rear main seal job that will bring in some green tomorrow an E 350.. and hope too get a tune b4 the next track outting out next week sorry for the long reply and agian this is with 99% stock tune the other 1% is for pressure for the brakes. every time i launched even after burnining out i was spinning the tires at least .4-.6 seconds with about too blow stock dimension bf goodrich's not even an 1/8 inchon em. .

Good job
If you get your 60 down with some really good tires I don't see why you won't be in the 11s. If I can get my heavy *** goat to run a 12.2 with just a cam I don't see why a head/cam Fbody can't do the same. It's all about the 60 foot time. Before I ran a 12.2 I was running 13.1X at 110mph with a 60foot time the same as yours. I drop the 60 foot time to 1.78 and I run a 12.2 so 60foot is key. imo. regardless sounds like you have a nice car and I bet you'll be in the low 12s soon

i would get a good tune first. your mph seems really low for ~400 horse. read up on some launch techniques on this site to get that 60 under 2 seconds.
