Default will i hit 12's?

Hi, in addition to the mods listed below i will have an ultra-z hood and a loudmouth catback on my car. After sea level adjustment, will I hit 12's? like 12.99?

Any tips on how to reduce my 60' times?

the track prep at LACR (where i race) is pretty bad. i get better traction on the streets.

it's possible, especially with drag radials. I just dont know how you got a 14.0 with a 2.2 short. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

With those mods at LACR you won't see 12.99. I doubt even at Carlsbad that you'll see that.

no i meant 12.99 after adjustment. so a 13.38 at LACR. seems a bit of a stretch, right?
