New Personal Best 12.32 @ 109.75 I made another trip over to Cecil County Dragway with a few buddies on September 15th for a Saturday test and tune. I hadn't been back to the track after my Circle D 4000 stall was put in, so I wanted a chance to see how much it changed my times.
I went from an old best of 12.89 @ 108.7 to 12.32 @ 109.75.
Best 60' of the day was a 1.69, but I was cutting fairly consistent 1.7x 60' times for most of my runs.
Here are the videos one of my friends shot of the runs.

And of course, the time slips.
I was supposed to have some UMI LCAs and relocation brackets for that track day, but the roto-joints are on backorder, so I'll have to make another trip before the end of the year to see if they help my ETs at all.

DA on the 15th was around 1,020 ft (according to drag race workbench on my phone that day). I'm running on the stock 3.23 gears, and was still wheel hopping a little out of the hole. I'm hoping that the LCAs and brackets that finally shipped today will help out with that and gain me something.
Probably going to head back mid/late October or early November, depends what my work schedule looks like.

Thanks, she does sound pretty good. And I found my sweet spot to get the least wheel hop and best times was only stalling up to 1500-1700 rpm. If I got near 2000+ I started spinning and hopping out of the hole.

Those are good bolt-on numbers man. You have me beat just barely. I cut a 12.4 @ 108 with 1.7 60ft wednesday evening with pretty much the same setup as you(bolt ons only) but with a 3200 converter, street tires, and mail order tune. Glad to see others having good results in bolt on trim as well.
