Finally hit the 12's!
Finally hit the 12's! I finally accomplished my goal & busted (not literally) into the 12's at Cecil on the 19th.
It took 3 attempts, which is all I could get in for runs from 11 AM to 4 PM being to much breakage was going on.
My 1st run sucked big time.
I had the ET streets on & set for 18 psi.
Cecil was prepped with VHT so when I launched at 3500 it bogged but I still managed to cut a 2.074 60'.
Then it wouldn't go into 3rd, which is not the 1st time that's happened so I think I'll dump the Pro 5 & start looking for a different shifter next year.
I ended up finishing that run at 14.362 @ 83.66.
Next run, a whopping 2 hrs 9 minutes later, I bogged again even though I launched it 4500 to cut a 2.108 60'.
I shifted fine, but not as fast as I normally can as I was "afraid" to jam it & have it not go into 3rd again.
I ran a 13.188 @ 108.07, which all 3 stats were now new personal bests.
The last run of the day, 1 hour & 7 minutes after the 2nd run, I accomplished my goal for the year.
I launched at 5500, cut a 1.999 light, ran 12.952 @ 108.63, & now all 3 stats are new bests.
I didn't get a chance to back up the 12.xx with another 12.xx, but looking at the #'s it's not a fluke doesn't need backing up.
I just need more seat time with my new setup & that 12.9 will drop even more.

nice driving Butch. you've done a great job with your WS6.
the car looked really nice at Cecil Dragstrip, and w/ the HP numbers you are putting down i know you'll be mid 12's or better for 2006.
