Not bad. I know the weather here in FL hasn't been ideal yet. Interested in the 60 foot as well.

Not bad. Your trap speed shows you have maybe five tenths you can shave off your et, meaning you could be in the high 12s as is.

The mph is good for 12s. Just keep working on that 60ft time.

The weather couldn't been that bad for that trap. As said your ET isn't very good for a LS2 though. Even on street tires you can make sub 2.0 60's. Every tenth lower 60' is about two tenths off your ET. With a sub 2.0 60' and 104 trap I hit 13.38 with a stock LS1. With some more practice and a good launch you have 12.8s

What front and rear tire pressures were you using?

That's a good way to get a crappy 60'. Pump the fronts up to 50# and drop the backs to 25#. Go around the water box and do a very quick burn just to clean them off.
