Very nice!
You're very very close to 12's, you just need to work on the launch and get that 60' down. Are you spinning at all? How high are you launching?

Try it with your stock MAF. I had similar mods and dropped .4 when I went back to my stock MAF (descreened).

Nice times though!

Chris! man, how the hell are you. i meant to get a hold of you last week to see if you were going to englishtown on saturday.

i ran two time trial runs on saturday and i spun off the line on one real bad and bogged on the other. ran 13.4 both times. my first round of eliminations i hooked well for the 13.0 pass but i bogged just a little. the second round i spun and ran 13.1. all of those were dumping the clutch between 3,300 rpms, and 3,800. (approximately). i really wish i had time to practice before yesterday.

i'm going to run at least once this week up at new england dragway. i'm sure i can get that 60' down. i should have gone to island yesterday, but i was hung over pretty bad because a couple friends and i partied after englishtown.

how's everything going for you?

i've read that some people's cars don't run right with the SLP MAF, but mine actually got a hair faster. i also don't want to run wiith my MAF descreened. i like the little bit of faith i have that if some little pebble gets around the air filter it will probably stop at the screen.

that confused me at first. i found out later that NHRA tracks (i was told all of them) have gone to .000 being a perfect RT instead of .500. so if you redlight you get a negative time. i guess that's what you're refering too.
