I had the same, slp lid, loudmouth on BFG DR and ran a consistant 13.5 in a 2001 Z28. I know it definatly had a 13.3 or 13.4 or run in her but never could get it.

Making it stick on launch would help. That car has got plenty of power for 12's. The F-bodies are lacking in the durable rearend and stock suspension pieces being capable of making its own power work for the better 1/4 mile numbers.

x2, work on your launch... getting a 2.1 60ft on a bog launch will produce completely different times from a 2.1 60ft on a slight wheelspin launch... (I slip the clutch from ~2200rpm to get my best results).....

Glad to see you got the number you were looking for! What was the weather like? Some nice cold weather will make a huge difference. Also what, what were your 60' times for your best and previous best runs?
