Default first time out

Alright. Friday night is going to be my first time out in over a year. It ran 12.9 at 107 last year. Since then I put in the new clutch, new knock sensor, new MAF, and dyno tune. Also should have the race weight down around 3450 with me in it. Provided I don't break my 10 bolt what do you think it'll do? We're hoping for 12.5s, maybe slightly better if I can knock the rust of my shifting skills. Too optimistic or am I underestimating?

Yeah your logic seems sound you should do better than last year if the 10 bolt holds. I would concentrate on removing weight, 4,450lb ? How in the hell does that car weigh so much?
