Nice times for the mods you have. My mods are in my sig and I go to my local 1/8 track almost every week with my 17X9's with 275 Nitto DR's and so far my best is an 8.82 and I usually do 8.8's-8.9's and I can't seem to do any better...
Do you have gears?

Those are some damn good runs for your setup. Every now and then you read about someone with an abnormally fast 2 valve. My car is the same way... weather i'm on the juice or not. Problem is when you tell some people what your car does, they call BS.
I think with a gear and sticky tires, a 12.9 is not out of the question for you. I'm getting my first set of drags tomorrow, and hope to break into the 12's n/a once i learn how to really launch

no gears, yet. Im sure i could hit 12.9 pretty easy, my 13.39 was ok but sure if my rear end hadnt gone haywire i could have improved that quite a bit, wouldnt be surprised if i could hit a 13.2 but thats based on my 13.42 being with a 2.1 60' and me thinkin i coulda run a 1.99 or better 60 with a little more practice. Only problem now is ill have to relearn how to drive the car when i get gears.

thats the idea. although after gears and tires im hoping for a turbo so 12s are guarenteed. well 12.5 anyway dont wanna go faster t han that, dont feel like spending lots of mney on a roll cage just yet. and i beleive the octane here is 91, and yes thats what im running, and its not a dyno tune its a email tune from sct, nothing super exotic im sure.
When are you going to dyno the car again?
