Default Finally hit 12's

Actually it was in December, but I finally did it. Barely
12.9 @ 104.05
Minor mods got me real close, but the Nittos got me in.
1.7 60ft will do it nicely...

What mods specifically? I'm wondering if I can squeak into the 12s with a lid, hooker catback and 275 Nitto DRs.

I have a lid & Loudmouth, too. I also had a 3600 stall, but I think something was wrong with it, cuz it eventually blew out. I really believe what got me into the 12's was the Nittos and my suspension upgrades. LCA's, Panhard rod, and torque arm. All from BMR.
My times with the stock converter, compared to the 3600, were not that much different. Which is what leads me to believe that the converter had problems. But with the susp mods, I could launch hard, and stay planted. I got consistant 1.7 60fts.
I'm anxious to get back there to see if I am still in the 12's, now that I went back to my stock convereter.
I said all that, so I can say this:
Yes you can get into the 12's with Nittos, if you nail your launch.
