12 second club I went to the track last weekend and only got 2 runs due to the weather.
1st run
60' 2.11
1/8 8.86
MPH 82.25
1/4 13.42
MPH 110.55 (spun 2nd pretty badly)
2nd run
60' 2.04
1/8 8.46
MPH 87.13
1/4 12.87
MPH 111.87
I think the car should be able to do better than that, but I am glad to get a 12 second pass. This was only my 3rd time at the track and 1st time this year. I need to ditch the Goodyear F1's and get some DR's.

Congrats on the 12sec slip! Actually a 2.0x 60' on the F1's is very respectable.....the best I ran on those tires was a 2.01 with the 3.42's out back. I ran a 12.69 at 110.x with a lid and bullet muffler dumping before the rear passenger tire (55 degress). Sooo.....you WILL get better times with your set up! I saw a 01 trans am run 12.2x at 116 with 3.42's cam only with longtubes. Hey that gives you a goal.

Thanks for the props guys!!!
UPDATE:
I went to the track today and found out that I am pretty consistant at launching. (consistantly slow
). I was 4 and 1 for the day.
Here are my 60' times. 2.04, 2.02, 2.08, 2.07, 2.33 (last run and I was trying to launch too high for street tires)
I started with a 13.03 @ 111.39 vs 15.0 @ 92.31 Mach 1.
Next was a 12.77 @ 113.19 vs 12.3 @ 114.28 (Year One TA with the 435HP stickers)
Then a 12.83 @ 111.81 vs 15.9 @ 85.09 Neon (I tried shifting to 4th before the traps and lowered my MPH)
My best run 12.75 @ 113.42 vs 13.73 @ 103.41 Auto 5th gen Vette
Last run 13.82 @ 110.71 vs 17. something Civic hatch (slip is in my car)
That pretty much ends my year since I am storing the car for the winter soon. I am thinking about the following winter plans:
Buy a set of 17" ET street radials
Sell my TR220 cam
Get a bigger cam
Valve springs
