Default Got 12s with Bolt ons

Finaly got a 12 out of the old bolt on 93 TA, goal I have wanted to get for a very long time since high school actually, almost 7 years. The car was left stock up untill about a year or two ago so thats why it took so long to get the time, I ran it as it is on the street, no front sway bar, only change was with the QA1s being set set at 2, but it still had the WS6 wheels up front and even had 3/4 tank of gas! Didnt even notice that, usally run with less gas. The weather was in the 40s with a strong head wind.

The Timeslip Looked like this

RT .407
60 1.72
1/8 8.1@83
1/4 12.8@102 < --- This car has NEVER trapped good but always seems to ET well. I was on salad shooters in the back with some used Nittos, next pair of DRs I will get in 17s so I can have the WS6s on all four instead of just the front.

Congrats. Your timeslip looks almost identical to mine down to the 60'. What are your mods? Are you still full weight? Stall? My mods are in my sig.

Thats a good 60 foot, play with tire psi to get it in the mid 20 range and your mph should increase.

Please list mods, its hard to guage what you should be trapping, 102, you can get with just suspension and cold air, it doesnt reflect bolt ons.

Thanks, Tire presure was at 24PSI. The only real mods are a PCM4less chip, Cold Air, Hooker LTs, Y w/ no cats, Borla, 3200 Vigi, LCAs, Panhard Bar, no front sway bar and QA1s on all four. Other wise prety stock, has some weight reduction, pullled the a/c out because it went out and back seats other wise left it alone.

My car isnt any thing special, its just average far as how fast it is or how much power it makes. I have a couple buddies down here that have had way stronger LT1s than mine.
