Nice trap speed! With some traction I think you will be in the 13s. Let me know how that goes, we have similar mods.
buy your car is lighter than his

Lowering the pressure even in street tires would have helped. What were your 60ft times?

That's true. I haven't run my car yet and I probably won't get to for awhile. Have you run yours?

Yeah I'm sure she's got more in her if that was w/ bald tires.

Blackmustang- what were some of your 60's on those runs?

Do you still have your stock rims? If you do put slicks on them and just change the wheels out at the track.
