I am only running 12.7 seconds at 114-115 in the quarter. I've already been tuned. I need help to go much faster, what else can I do.

no I'm going for NA, next big mod will be a rear, then heads, but I want to 11's first.
I know I have to learn to shift, this the first time driving this car with all the mods stated above. All the work was done in my garage over the winter. My best time from last season when car was stock was 12.875 at 114.95 mph. It just aggrevates me that all this time money and effort was only good .1 of a second, I need to relearn how to drive the car again. I was just expecting a little better.

Practice your driving skills, it's the best mod you can do really. I went to the strip in January and ran a best of 12.8 @ 113.x with a 2.0 60'. I went back a couple of weeks ago, and ran a 12.4 @ 112.x (didn't print a 60') with nothing changed to the car. All I did was practice my shifting and launching. Spend some quality time with her and you won't be dissapointed.

Hate saying it, but it's definately your driving skills man. Get some LCA's and relocation brackets, and get your 60' down to a 1.8... then all you have to do is shift faster and you 'can' have low 11's. Of course, a launch like that will definately require a rear.
So yeah, work on the "great-driver mod" first

I'm sorry, my PREVIOUS best mph was 113.65, the 114.95 was one of the speeds I went on Sunday. I know the car traps high, so far my best trap is 116.xx my slips are at work so I can't give the exact number right now. This is the issue I've been dealing with since I bought the car, high traps and times that don't match-up.
