Back from TMP, 12.52 new best! Hi guys 
Had a great time at the track today
Here are the weather stats:
Track altitude: 700 feet
Temperature: 72
Dew point: 41
Barometer: 30.1
Wind 15mph headwind which switched to a cross headwind later in the day
Density Altitude: 1613 (I wish we had some of the air from 3 weeks ago!)
Mods:
TCI 3000 stall
TPIS headers
Halltech
17 inch ET streets (varied between 18-22psi)
Stock 2.73's and stock everything else.
3/4's tank of gas
I thought the track would be empty considering it was mothers day but it was JAMMED. Took 45 minutes to get in the gate. At least a couple hundred cars today.
I made 4 pasess total but the first two were the best. (Track started going away after the second pass)
Here is the new best:
ET Streets at about 22psi (I ended up dropping tire pressure to 18psi but the track decided to take a ****
sixty: 1.82 (spun about 2-3 feet and then hooked hard)
330: 5.22
1/8th: 8.04 (Almost in the 7s!)
mph: 87.29
1000: 10.47
1/4: 12.52
mph: 110.1
My trans is starting to slip slightly but it is hanging in there. I am not going to hammer on the car anymore until the club drag events
I am happy with the 12.52 considering the car is bone stock internally, 2.73 gears and full weight. I think with a PERFECT day with everything falling into place a 12.3X @ 112mph is possible.
Lots of fun!
