I run my T/A on a 1/8th track till I get a roll bar. There's a few cars where I race that run 12.9s in the 1/4. I can beat them by maybe a car length, so I'm thinking my car would turn a 12.8 or better in the 1/4 mi.

Don't bet on a 12.8 up here in the NW. The best I could get at SIR was a 12.9 at 113 on street tires at stock tire pressure. I ran it the way I drove it to work with no changes. A couple of others who were close to 400rwhp got down in the low 12's after they added slicks. On stock tires they were in the 12.7's. It took a **** load of mods to get deep into the 12's up here for everyone. Don't know if it was because of the track at SIR or our elevation which I do not know what it is.

No roll bar here either. One track in the city won't let me run but the other one is real light on the rules. I could probably go without a helmet too. I trapped 127.73 last time out. I think I'm going to get some wheels with some BFG drag radials to see if that will put me in the tens.

Thanks, it has all the bolt-ons, full exhaust, cold air, shift kit, 3200 stall, little bit of suspension, subframe connectors, and that roll cage that everyone needs! Oh yeah I forgot about that cam, a CC306, it was untuned though. The car was at full weight though. But now my motor is out getting stroked, It also is getting a new fogger system and a turbo400. Say it with me now 9's! HOPEFULLY. It won't be at full weight anymore though everything is going.

What did you leave in that car, the jack & spare? What mods do you have? Did you use a scale on race day? Auto/M6, 12 bolt, 60' times?
You much have a pretty good set up to go that quick at that weight.
Just think if you got her down to 3500 lbs., and say each 100 lbs is worth a .10th, you could be down to low 11.xx's, may 10's.
MIne was a 10.45 @ 131 but here is a 10.54 run from Sunday. I hope to get it painted over the winter. It was a totalled car I rebuilt.
