The "NEW BEST" thread I know I'm not the only one,
but here's mine
12.257@112.54 1.71 60' On this run I short shifted to 2nd or 3rd so that's why my mph is down.
Then next run I did
12.258@113.83 1.75 60'
so if I wouldn't have short shifted on the best run, it would have been a few hundreths quicker. Also earlier in the night I trapped at something like 113.96 (don't have that slip in front of me right now)
My first 2 runs the coolant temp were around 220-225 degrees...so I broke out HPTuner and turned the fans on sooner, so the rest of the runs the coolant was right around 190, so that seemed to help. The stock programming doesn't start to pull timing until 230 degrees though.
Very happy with this years progress. I went from 13.0 at the end of last year to these times. I still think it has 2 more tenths in it, but I'll really have to work to get that out of her. Mainly I need to improve my launch. Right now I'm doing a 5200ish clutch dump and it comes out hard, then bogs. I'm think if I had just a little more power, I could push through that and run some good 60' times.
So now I have to decide if I want to see how much I want to push the current combination to see if I can dip into the 11s, do a few more bolt ons, or just be done with it and throw a cam in there. Overall though for only doing intake and exhaust this thing is kicking but. I guess the clutch/tires/rearend upgrade helped too

Congrats, those are good times! It was nice meeting you out there. I wonder how things worked out for Cory and the H2? I'm really stoked with my new numbers too. Now it's time for some: 
Things are progessing with the H2... currently at 13.67 at 97.5mph. I had to lift on that run right at the 2-3 shift but was able to roll back on throttle to "save" the run at least as far as time went. It went 1.95 on the 60 ft on that run. Another run that night went 1.909 on the 60 ft.
