I love the black wheels. I'm in IL too, what track were you at? W/ traction you should be mid to low 11's IMO.

The first time I went to track with new setup, I couldnt hook either. I could only launch at low revs which did my times no justice. I noticed that if you go on a busy day, the track seems to be better prepped.

My best so far was 12.790. I think the car has low 12's into. I think I need to perfect my launching and shifting.
