good numbers and mph. 12bolt/9inch, street twin with some good tires could get you into the 11s easily i think, throw some nitrous on that and 10s should be possible.

I think you will be well into the 11's with a good 60'. What was your 60' on the 12.4 run?

Use either the nittos or ET streets. Get that 60' down to at least 1.6 and 11s is yours.

Just becareful with the stock rear.
