Default why only 12.9?
i ran a 12.9 friday night. i was pretty upset considering the mods i have. anyone have any opinions or suggestions?

.025 rt
1.7 60
12.9 1/4
104 mph

i have full exhaust,lid,tb,3200 stall,tune, and brand new bfg drags. i did drop my 60' from a 1.9 to a 1.7. so thats the only positive of the night.

Damn. With those mods, you should be more into the 12s, I would think.
