Your 60' is killing you. General rule of thumb is you can knock off .2 for every .1 off your 60'. So if you cut a high 1.7 or 1.8, you will be tapping on 11's door.

your mph will change, but that depends... did you spin or bog off the line in that run? spinning generally gives you a higher mph, bogging lowers it.

I'd say high 11's, and gears will really wake your car up, along with getting rid of that ugly 2.2 60'.

Ok and CamsCam i did listen i did all the weight reduction i could, got some slicks, removed front sway bar and went out tonight and ran a 12.37 @116.66 then went to make the last run of the night and i blew the 10 bolt right were it sat on the launch lol i dont even think i moved forward a bit. Oh so iono were i didnt listen to you but if i didnt listen its because i cant afford it yet lol....

no driver mod i heated them up alot then launched at 4k and it bogged so for bogging i think the time is pretty good. So the next run i figured i would sack up and launch at 5k and kablamo!! haha i wish i had that kind of money to get a built rear end.... Ugh another damn 10 bolt... Oh well next mod is deff gonna be a 12 bolt.

Yeah,with slicks you're definitely gonna want to launch higher than 4K rpm. Of course you'll need a rear that can handle it first, lol. Good luck getting it fixed! You'll hit in 11 real soon.

You do realize when you run slicks, it's better to launch too high and spin, then work your way down, rather than start at a low RPM launch and work your way up, right?

A big reason drivetrain **** breaks is because of the initial shock due to traction/launch. When u launched, did you slip the clutch and let it roll a little before you took off? When you have traction, you have to take the slack out of the drivetrain before you take off. If you didn't, that's probally a big reason why you broke your rearend.

edit: BTW: What was your 60' on your 12.3 run?
