Title change
Title change please Last year my best was a 13.11 @109, after many changes over the winter I finally broke into the 12's this year.. Changes included, new chassis mount torque arm, Chrome moly tubular LCA's, new TB, DR's(Nitto's@28 PSI) and a new tune. Traction has/is still my issue, but hey, I made the 12's!!! In a few weeks I'm heading to a better track, I think low 12's, maybe even high 11's are possible with a track I can hook up on. As you can see by my 60' time I have plenty of room for improvement!!! Launched off idle w/3200 stall. Vid is of a 12.93 run I made prior to the 12.63. I also think heating up the nitto dr's more will help me hook.. Until I watched the vid I didn't realize I wasn't heating them as much as I thought..

From what I understand and have noticed myself, if you do much more than a good 3 second burnout, your probably going to overheat the DR's and make them more greasy and slippery than sticky.
Congrats though!

You're in. short burnouts have always worked for me. Thanks man! Had 28 psi in the Nitto DR's. Looks like I should drop another 6-8 psi at the track from what I've read..
