Default How big of a difference should I expect?

My best time last year was 13.02 in the 1/4. By the end of the month I will have added 4.10's and a shaftmasters aluminum DS. Other mods I'm adding that might not make a difference in time are MGW shifter (might help if i can power shift with it) and Torque Limites (also may help if it facilitated power shifting)

I am hoping to get down into the 12.6 12.7 range.

I know people hate these kind of threads but I'm excited to get this done and can't wait to get to the track to find out.

I don't think your 1/4 time will improve. You're just going to waste time spinning your wheels when you launch.

I don't think launching will be too much of an issue. I had Mickey Thompson DR's on it last year and could launch fine with a 5k dump. I might not be able to launch at 5K but I'm hoping 4K will be doable.

He's got M&H drag radials. The only spinning will be the burnout.

I would definitely say 12.6 is totally attainable.

You think? Even though I only got the 275's and not the 325's? BTW, I will be getting the 325's when the 275's wear out.

DRs FTW. I think mid-high 12s would be attainable with a good launch & powershiftin.
