I honestly missed the blower part and thought you were running your times with just a tune/gears/exhaust and lcas... I kept thinking WOW thats an awesome time...but now I am wondering what's going on... have you had it to a dyno shop or anywhere? I am wondering if there is something not 100% that is holding you back. Honestly your 60fts are not great but all but 2 of them are better than my 60fts and I'm running about where I should be. MPH just looks down for whatever reason, honestly I have to wonder if its the gears killing you?
No dyno yet, I am 20 minutes from Brenspeed, but there are in the middle of moving to a new building, dyno tore down. Everything I read and hear I should be about 410 - 420 rwhp. I have let a friend drive it compared to his stock 06 Mustang (well, does have tune/CAI) and he was like holy chit, this thing is fast.
When I bought the car it had the 4.10's already but now that I am FI I do kinda wish they weren't as steep...
Bingo^. 4.10s and postive displacement blower = no traction on street tires. Get yourself a decent drag radial. I can see why your 60 is hurting from loss of traction, but I still think you should be trapping higher than that.
Edit:What gear are you in through the traps?
I am in 4th thru the traps
Thanks all for the input guys. The ONLY run I felt I didn't spin much off the line was the first time out when I hit the 12.65... but still think I spun a little bit. Would love to give some DR's a try, just wish could borrow for a couple runs, as I am not planning to drag a lot, but dang it is fun!
You should really look into a DR after your rears wear out. Since you already have the nittos 555 you should look into nitto 555r dr for the rears. Thread life is actually decent if you dont track much(i have 9k miles on mine and they still have a bunch of thread) and they do well in the rain.
Stock Saleen supershaker, about 7 max boost. I also thought low 12's easy, but.... here I am.
DRs and some seat time is the answer IMO

You can never have too much power, just not enough traction. 11.867 @ 119.35
Bob - you have a Saleen blower? what boost r u running?
wiht 4.10s and a blower the car should be able to run 11.8x - 12.1 ETs IMHO
get a DR (17s and tires cost you in teh 500 area IMO) and get those 60s down to the 1.8 range and your on your way
Was talking to a guy at the WFC 07 and he asked if a 12.2 was a good time. He had a Saleen charger and no helmet. Why spend $6k on a charger and no helmet?

Couple vids of me running against my buddy in his built Challenger...
first run beat him by .6821, second run only by .2010. Love hearing the whine in the first one, but you can also hear me spinning thru 1st His reaction time in first run was bad, .8388 compared to my .3242. The second run I had a .3519 and he had .3630, and much closer race.
