Default Jack Stand Racing (what should it run?)

Last year my car ran 12.66 @ 113mph on drag radials, bogging off the line with a 1.9 60ft (trying to spare the 10 bolt). This was also with 100% stock suspension. Now the car has a 9" with 4.11 gears, rear v6 springs, and a torque arm. I was wondering what kind of times I could expect to see out of it now? I'm hoping to cut a tenth or two off my 60ft.

As far as engine mods it's still the same as it was: Long tubes, ory, cut out, lid, FRA, and self ported throttle body.

The only reason I ask is I just can't seem to get the car down off jack stands, right now I'm waiting for clutch parts to come in.

I ran 11.95 @ 114 with about all the same stuff and still stock internals M6 shiftin good. I'd skip the V6 springs and find a set of stock V8 springs to run IMHO. I think the stock ones keep the rear from squatting too much. Good luck to ya, Tom

I hope I can dip into the 11's. That would just make all this trouble worth it. Anybody else got an idea?

well the rear added weight, and you give up 20 horse so you may see the same #'s
