well the reason I said that is because I find it kinda hard to run that fast with just tires and exhaust I would believe that he needed more than that to run that fast

well roots is almost there and I know it can be done but that's pretty fast for an uncracked motor

And what is the normal difference in time between atco in nj and Cecil county dragstrip in md

Thats not right either, it really depends on the 60 foot. My LS1 Camaro went 11.5 @ 116 on a 1.52 60 foot, my 72 Nova went 11.4 @ 118 with a 1.60 60 foot. A low 12 like that should be 109-112 ish AGAIN it depends on the 60 foot.
