congrats ! awesome start for you !

trap speed says it should go low 12's with a better 60 foot. I went 12.1 on a 112 trap in my auto car back in oct. and the previous owner of my 6 speed car went 11.9 on 111 trap about 6 months before I bought it-3 passes in a row even lol , watched him do it then ended up with the car 6 months later

Congrats, not bad.

You were basically setting yourself up for failure with what you did though. Drop the psi next time or go on DR's, make sure to only have 1/4 when you start racing, and pull some damn weight out of the car. That coupled with launching harder and you will be much happier with your ET/mph. Don't worry too much about the 10 Bolt. As long as you slip the clutch and don't dump it you should be fine. I did back to back 1.63 60's in my car launching with 4.10's and DR's (while I had bolt-on's and a 10 Bolt) and I was fine.

Good luck next time ya go out!
