Exclamation 12's in the quarter?
i am wondering if my car will run 12's in the quarter mile.

I live in NM
its a 2000 vette, LT's and full exhaust, Lunati cam 242/242 .595 .595 112LSA
underdrive pulley, Heads 225cc 2.02 int. 1.60 exh. and a Weiand intake. full tune. this is assuming i can stick the tires without spin. and a good driver. what do you think?

The key here is you said you are in NM. What part? The elevation is quite high here. Albuquerque is over 5200' which will raise your ET about a full second and 8 mph in the traps. You need about 320 actual rwhp at this elevation to run consistent 12's. That is with a decent 60'
and the tracks don't hook very well here.

He should of put down north of 400, and with the right tires (drag radials) he will definetly be right around mid 11's. on bottle low 11's

Don't over do it trying to leave off the line! take it smoothly the first pass or to two to see how well your tires will grip the track.
