Default first time with heads and cam
That was on sumitomo street tires and a 10 bolt. On the 12.6 pass they've accidently put me as car 052 instead of 062. Mods are in sig. The 12.7 was with a passenger as well. Needless to say that didn't last very long ha ha

h/c stick car trapping 115? the car needs one or all of the following mods:

live tune
tires
driver
-passenger

seems kind of slow as it sits, even with a passenger (unless he/SHE hahah weighed 500lbs). i'd expect 120+ out of a setup like that, street tires or not.

I've got sumitomo tires anywhere in 2nd gear it'll kick sideways just stabbing the throttle and I thought I would trap higher than that as well but it definatley needs a tune. I've got it parked because of a miss at low rpms sometimes. It always had it but I thought maybe I had a bad plug but after 3 sets and some new wires I think its in the tune. The other pass it trapped 117 but still like you said I expected somewhere in the 120s. I'm gonna get it dyno tuned as soon as I can get ahold of a tuner. They're only one I know of near where I live.
