Yeah...I probably wouldn't run stickier tires without a beefed up rear even in stock form. And even though a few guys have pulled a 1.9x or 2.0x 60 foot out of their V1s, I'm happy with my 2.1xs as long as I get to drive it home afterward.

Dudesweet i ran almost identical to your numbers...2.1 60ft 13.17. I want 12's, thinking tires will get me there. Yea I'll probably do some up grading to rear first. It is nice to drive it home.

EDIT: To stay on topic, GFALLEN from what I understand, wheel hop is the general cause for diff breakage so axles and bushings would go a long way to protect you from blowing up @ the track, esp. if you are only launching at 1500-1800rpm. Its those 3k clutch drops you gotta look out for. LOL!

I ran 13.1 consistant at Island in N.J. and Maple Grove. I know with drag radials I can hit 12's. Saving for a Maggie, Kl2onik what did u run, and what do you have done to your car?

06killerv that sounds about right. I hear for every .10th you cut on 60ft is doubled at the traps so your 1.8 compared to our 2.1 should take of .60 in the end. which would put me at 12.5. Nice. Im thinking MT drag radials or Nitto NT05r

Yeah. You could definitely improve with tires. I think 12s are definitely possible out of this car. With the trap I ran, I should have definitely been in the 12s. I was VERY careful to squeeze out my launch, but after that, I chirped the tires in every gear. And I agree...nice to drive it home. LOL!
