haha im in the same boat as you i should be flirting with low 12's easily but cant even get low 13's, but i do have street tires and stock suspension so that doesnt help any nor do i have sub-frames or anything else like that.
With 4.10s, re-loc brackets and tubular lca's on a 255/50/16 BFG drag radial i'd slip the clutch @ ~4400 and cut 1.7 sixtys
With the same mods on a 245 street radial i'd slip the clutch at 3200 and cut 1.9s
the key is slipping the clutch not just dumping it
