Decent run, get a clean run and it should be more impressive What tires are you using? A good amount of spin, and seemed hard to get in gear..

they were an old set of 26x11.50 MT ET Streets. my tranny has been acting up. i'm using a new GM slave and master on a Monster Stage 5 so disengement is a hassle. looking to go Tick pretty soon. i'm going to a set of 28" MT ET Streets next time to clean up the run.

i'm curious. i have been cutting consistent low 1.7s but i cant seem to get out of the 12s. my mph is way too low for low 12s. i ran a 12.1 @109 mph with a 1.72 60'. what's the deal? i found a problem with my tune and corrected it so it shoudl help my trap a bit. the limiter was set at 5900 so i stepped it to 7500. hopefully 11s this next time out.

I wouldn't rev even near 7500 if your on stock pushrods/springs... you will be pushing the stock shortblock revving that high as well...

Weather could be affecting your trap speed, but if its not that then it seems like you may be a bit down on power since you trapped 113+ before... you could have easily bent a strock pushrod or something revving that high..

I would stay with a 26" tall tire I believe Micky makes a 275/50/15. If go to a 28' it will take a way your gear and kill your 6 foot.
