Very Close to 12's On My 3v! Next mod?
Sup everyone!
I have an 06' GT I picked up a little over a year ago that I've been taking to the strip! Last year I started out running a 14.1 @101 best time on the stock tires with only a muffler delete on the car. My original goal since then has been to run a 12 second pass (somewhere in the 12's at least). With some trial and error, i've managed to run my best time a few days back 13.101 @109.27. Im super happy with it! I had been running this setup but with a terrible Hankook 25" tire setup, don't ask! Once I swapped my tires to a 27" tall NITTO G2, I went up 3 MPH in the trap and definitely some better overall traction. My 60' needs a TON of work, my best so far is a 2.008 on the same run listed above^.
So my next question is what you you guys recommend for my next mod to get closer or into the 12's? I will list my current mods below! I know it's pretty clear from what people have said that my car is easily capable of a 12 second run but its all coming down to my launch. I've gotten the car to a point that I can leave decently hard with no tire spin, if I roll the clutch out somewhere around 2000-2500. If I let it out quick, it roasts the tires, and if I let it out any slower the bogging gets worse than it already is!
MODS:
JLT S3 Intake
LITO 93 Octane Tune
MBRP Muffler Delete
Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
BMR Lower Control arms & Relocation Bracket
Nitto NT555 G2 255/50/17 tires (27")
My rear diff needs some work for sure, so ive considered swapping in the Ford Performance 4.10 kit with all the new stuff. I think that would help the bogging a ton, but not sure if it would make me kill my tires off the line. I also have a decent amount of more power mods I can get out of the car while its N/A like Long tubes, cams, CMDP, etc.
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated! Ill post a pic with the timeslip and a video if I can figure it out!

I know it's tempting to swap a 4.10 in the rear but that would only make it easier to spin the wheels unless you do a lot more rear suspension work. You could also disconnect the front sway bar to aid rear weight transfer.
