Congrats. 1st time out and you run 12's? Outstanding. Follow the instruction in the sticky at the top of this forum and you can get your title changed.

Oh, well I might believe that, but lets go through the motions anyway. What was the breakdown of the whole run? What was the DA? Any dyno numbers?

Nice job! But only a 1.85 60'? Are you sure you didn't spin at all?

For two years I ran 12.3-12.4 @ 109 on 1.65-1.75 60's with just a lid, full exhaust, ported TB and TCI 3500. Full weight, stock suspension, 3.23 gears and M/T 255/50R16 street radials.

I know that converter can hit a really good 60'. But congrats again, the first pass in the 12's was such a great feeling!

WOW! That's actually a very impressive 60' time for street tires. Good job. If you go with some sticky drag radials down the line then low 12's are just waiting for you.
