Low 12s
Low 12s I ran my first 12s in late 2001 (lid/K&N, Hypertech/160* t-stat and free mods) and slowly chipped away at it from there with some weight reduction.
Added a torque converter (Pro Torque 2800), trans cooler and a cut out last October to ultimately run a best of 12.2@111 last November/December.
QTP long tubes with QTP Y pipe and LS6 intake are sitting in my basement right now just screaming to help glide my ride into the 11s.

Nice. How much weight reduction? Moderate stuff like the rear seats, jack and tire or other stuff as well? Nonetheless, nice times and you should see 11 no problem. You should just add the TB and pulley to that list and for god sakes put that **** on already.
Thanks guys.
Yes...rear seats are out full time, jack/spare/floormats/cargo cover, low fuel, skinnies and this time I tried a Hawker lightweight battery as well.
I forgot to mention that I do also now have a TB and pulley as well and they are on the car already.
Also already done, just today.
Hehe

I ran only twice this year and ran bests as listed in the signature. Hope to better times when go to the track. Little more fine tunning and tricks and I may run an eleven. Bigger cam and I would be there 
, but that would be cheating

Air wasn't as good on the 12.16 run as it was on the 12.23 as well, though still decent.

I'm trying to get out of the 12's with my 413 rwhp h/c M6! Our track is not known to be very good (Moroso) so that's a challenge too. My 60's are a shitty 1.9's, and I gotta figure out a way to get that down. Trapping at 117+, I should be an 11 sec car

I've been to Moroso before and aside from personal biases against south Florida racing weather (heat/humidity etc. though I LOVE the area otherwise) that track isn't the most hooking to say the least.
Bradenton on the other hand.
cant wait to hear the LTs tomorrow Marc!!!
are you comin out today to the njfboa meet??
Im headed to the track tomorrow to see if I can "chisel" down to 12.3-4
Congrats again!!

Our club rented Bradenton on 12/11, and everyone hit PB's, that track hooks. I had some wheelhop issues that killed my 60 ft's. and my 11 sec attempts. We are trying to rent out Moroso for a night, but just recently some Ford SVT ******** complained to upper mgmt at Moroso that we were getting it too cheap. So now, it may be cancelled. Here's a thread on it if you're bored or want to read some ****...
