The times are pretty good, and your trap speed is stout. If you can get a better 60' the times will drop. I think SFCs and drag radials + torque converter would do a hell of a lot for that car. Those would definitely be MY next mods If I was in the 12s with a stock stall. But traction is always key.

Sounds like you have 2.73 rear gears if thats the case your times look pretty good. As some have mentioned a stall and drag radials will do wonders
