Cool 12.8!

I started with a problem car...ran a best 14.8 in 2006
Found the issues: incorrect tb, clogged cats and no tune for slp maf

Modded: obx long tubes into res into slp lm
ls6 intake
pp tb
slp maf and lid
Trans went so got a 02 built one and put a 3200 fuddle stall in
3.73 gears
Nittos 555r2s
LSX tune by frost!
Ran a 12.896 @107.54 with a 60 of 1.936 (need to check) with a 1/2 tank gas and tires at 18psi @ va ms park!

Still spun off the line and chripped second

Not to bad but at the end of 07 year I ran a 13.0 @107 on street tires and 1/4 tank of gas and that was before the trans, pptb, stall and gears....still room for improvement!

Suggestions/comments are welcome!

Get the tires really hot. The Nittos need HEAT. Also what was the weather like? Have you done a compression test yet?

12.8 is good from where you were, but I think there is definitely more to go as low 12's- high 11's are possible with those mods

That MPH is definitely low for those mods too, should be closer to 110. It's great that you're happy with that time...but you still have a "problem car".

As other's have said I would look a little bit more into your setup as there is some improvement to be made.

That being said good times and I'm glad you fixed the problems but it seems there might be something still lurking

Nitto 555R2's are road race tires. They have a really stiff sidewall and are not good for launching a car. You want the 555R's, that's the Drag Radial

Who makes the cam? I'm thinking between 11.9x-12.1x. Let us know what you run.
