Default Ill be here soon! soooo close

So, I went back to the track. Good news is I won 1st place in my class in bracket races. The bad news? Well, as you already know from the thread title; I DIDN'T GET 12'S!!!!! I ran 6 times all were 13.0 @ 107-108. The best being a 13.03. I don't get it. Last year, I ran a best 0f 13.064 @ 107. Since then, I have added a P&P TB, Catch can(I know it doesn't do anything for time) and, BFG drag radials.

Shouldn't I be in the 12's?! The tires dead hooked(on most runs) and I thought I was doing everything right? My 60 ft's were 2.0's.... Any input would be greatly appreciated!

DA makes a big difference. I was running 13.1 to 13.0 then on a day with great weather I ran a 12.77 same MPH (107 to 108) no changes to the car.

Want 12's for sure get a stall what a blast at the track and in the street.

p&p tb didn't do **** for my car either and DR's made my stock stalled a4 slower. I think with nitto street tires and little bit of spin helps to get the stock stall going. Your car runs good for what it has have run a best of 12.90 at 1000DA w/ headers tho.
