Where do you live? Altitude will impact times. At sea level, I'd say 12s for sure.

I still have until the 23rd to get ready for my first time at track. I've also went ahead and got the egr/air delete kit and will be sending computer out for a frost tune. I think I'll be at least around 12.5-12.6 ET after that. You agree?

lose the k and n filter for a paper one and clean the maf. Also why the ratchet shifter? Not necessary with a 4l60e. Longtubes, off road y, and cutout would be great.

I think heat/humidity did affect it a little. Since the track I've yanked out the ac to shave some more weight off the front end. What's a cheap easy way to hit 12's from where I am now?

Tires..your 60' is bad. Tires will get you there as you are.

Oh wait..you have slicks and skinnies? Actual slicks or DR? Doesn't matter just curious. Without a stall..I'd still say low 1.9s high 1.8 60's.

Did you let off before the traps? 83 mph in the 1/8th, you should've been 103+ in the 1/4.

Slicks will slow your trap speed some but again your 60' is terrible for being on a tire. Get that down and you'll see 12s. Get a stall and you'll see midish 12s. Get headers and y and see low 12s.
