Default Finally a 12 sec pass

Well finally put some drag radials on Nitto 555r. And they helped alot almost 2sec off my time! I went 12.8 at 111.8 mph .With basic bolt ons on a LT1 long tube headers, 3" exhaust, wally pump 255, moroso intake,Spec 3 clutch, 100shot of nitrous! And about 350-400 pounds weight reduction. This was at 4900ft in Colorado. It has more in it just need more track time and put my gears in 4.56's Thanks to everybody for all the help and ideas I got off this website.

Thanks guys! I know the car has more in it. I Just need more seat time in it. And put my gears in. I plan on putting skinny's up front to that should help instead of the ZR1's on her right now. Any Idea's or tip's to help me out? I have SFC think that might help my 60'? Or just add weight? Well thanks for the help.

Well went to the track again last night. Ran a new best 12.6 at 111mph only made 2 runs I got there to late. But with more practice I think it has a low 12 high 11 in it. I just need to keep at it. Thanks

That mph has low 12's written all over it with some better 60ft times and practice. Congrats on the new best!
