5.0's can go really fast if you can get them to hook hard. good 60ft's on a bolt-on car can net high 12's and low 13's. you just have to get the 60ft's in the high 1.6's to low 1.7's.

I can only benchrace my time right now, but I should be running about a 13.5 or so.
I run right next to an ls1 car until about 65 and by the time we're at 100 theres about 2 cars between us. By bench racing standards, that's about 2 or 3 tenths slower than a car running a 13.2. I usually pull a fender off the line too.

However once I finish my h/c/i, do up my suspension, and lighten the car a tad more I'll be hoping for a low 12 on a tire. I wish there was a freakin track near me.

If you don't mind telling, what suspention mods do you have? I would like to get mine to hook better to get under a 2.0 60', but I don't know where to start.

Sounds about right...drag shocks? I have to start working on getting those things, starting with subframs and drag radials. Thanks
