Default In the 12s YES!

I had not visited the track in over four years because it is a 70 miles drive one way. However, last Friday evening I made the trek to the track and ran a 12.984 @ 111.76 just the second time out. YES! FINALLY!

Hopefully it will improve. Mods are typical bolt ons, intake, exhaust, and a cam.

Man your car is a dog in the first half of the track, is the tune off or something? I ran two 12.94's last night @ 109 on 1.97 and 1.99 60's, and my front half times were about .09 quicker and 2mph faster, but then you picked up amazing time in the last half somewhere and almost matched my ET and topped my MPH by a full 2mph. Kind of odd, but nice job man, feels good doesn't it. My first time in the 12's came last night.

Thanks. Congratulations to you on your times as well!

My numbers were not what I expected. However, maybe it has something to do with the elevation at our track being a bit over 3,000 feet and the DA that evening being 8,575 feet. Some say it makes a big difference.

Yeah that might have something to do with it for sure. That's crazy, my track is at 910' and I thought that was bad lol. Where are you located?
