Good start

You just need to 60'. Next time lower your tires to 20psi,do a nice 5 second burnout in the box -roll out of it,then launch at 2500rpm while giving a slight slip of the clutch.That should put you at 1.9-2.0 60's and bring you into the 12's

That what I should try next time. Only if I didnt run nitrogen in my tires I would let some air out of my tires.

Not bad, get rid of those street tires and you'll be flying.

Dark cloud was your SS the one with the chrome rims ? If so beautiful car. I had the black SS with the mismatched pontiac/chevy silver rims.

Ran the same best time as last week 12.74 @107 w a 1.7 60ft. picked up 1 mph.
car was very consistent running 12.8s all night at 106-107 with 1.8-1.9 60 foots easing into the throttle out of the hole. 1-2 shift was just tapping the rev limiter but it still would not shift 2-3 without pedaling it. It would sit on the rev limiter if I did not pedal it. slwhawk if you read this do you think anything can be done about my 2-3 or is it tranny time ?
Met a couple guys that were ther for 1st time a red ls1 and a nice chameon lt1 firehawk. Kid in the staging lane next to me in a new camry solara asks how to make it fast. told him to put a 300 shot on it. with a straight face he said thats next.....

I'd have told him to sell that POS he was in and get a real car. Camary! HA I have a short video of me VS an SRT4 at NED. Just before we staged the driver told me to "move aside and make way for the future" WOW he ran a 14.25. I tried not to laugh in his face. Imagine if a real fast car had taken him on. I ran a 13.210 but did trap 106.71.
