happy with 12 shootin for 11
took car to track first time ran some 12.80's 3 passes. playin with launch and shift points. weather in san antonio is crap it was like 98 degrees that night.
second time @ track went better. consistenly got better. 1st pass 12.58 2nd pass 12.38 1.95 60 ft. missed 3rd tho. 3rd pass 12.21 last pass for the night still about 93 degrees humid as hell. ET 12.15 60 ft. 2.07 120 mph had some wheel hop & spun a bit out of hole & 2nd gear shift spun.
launched about 3400 eased off clutch and eased into throttle. shifting around 6500 cam was still making good power up there on dyno pull. car is about 3300 lbs. with me in it @ just over quarter tank of gas. dont want to bust rearend but want to hook & go & not baby it. need some suspension advice & rearend suggestions. please

Yeah, I usually launch at 3,000 RPM and have had several 1.8xx 60' time. But with street radials, it is very difficult to be consistant. In one pass I could have 1.8xx short time and with next run, I could have 2.1xx, a price we have to pay for having the street radials. Good luck.
