You'd be hard pressed to do it with your mods. Just wondering, i see you list a stroker as an engine, are you still running stock heads?

keep in mind that most tracks require a driveshaft loop when using sticky tires.

Oh and a 3K drop ain't gonna do anything but bog the car. 5-6K drop to have enough torque to pull the wheels. Provided you're making enough.

My car makes 260 rwhp and when I had a manual tranny in it i launched at 3500 once and it pulled the front left, got a pic of it, the car goes 12.50's, but yes it did bog like hell when it did it. Oh with ET Streets also. After that I started launching at 5000, A little tire spin but it was going 1.69 60', but just went to a C4, broke to many T5's

P.S. I also have 3.73's

To go 12.50 with only 260 rwhp that car must be on hell of a diet.
