RE: All 12 Sec N/A Automatics - whats your secret
Well my best trap is 106 and i'm a manual. That was with only an intake and tune though. You'll need to add more power i'm afraid or wait for colder temps.

Right now traction is not my problem, I am not spinning off the line, my Drag Radials hook well, my 60' ft times are 1.9 not good but not bad.
I am worried about my trap speed being so low. and that my tune is shipting into 4th before the trap.
I race with under a 1/4 tank and remove the trunk contents. I personaly weight 220 this is not helping

I don't have an auto and I'm not in the 12's (we'll see tomorrow night how close i am) but I don't see any suspension mods on your list. I'd at least go with LCA's and relocation brackets so you can change your instant center and get better traction off the start. You'll reduce your 60', 1/8th mi etc....that should get you really close.

I regret not purchasing a torque converter sooner...that should easily get you in the 12s by itself (with the mods you already have, of course). Its one of the best things you can do to an automatic.

I recall a friend reading a book about the fastest drag racer that surprisingly said the cheapest way to go fast after all the mods were done was for the driver to shed weigh.

RE: All 12 Sec N/A Automatics - whats your secret
I hit 12s with my below mods on street tires.
-C&L CAI with Brenspeed tune (b@m@ tune feels even better)
-Steeda UDP
-LCAs w/ relocation brackets
-front swaybar delete
-pypes off-road H
**Corsa A/Bs added no HP so i don't count them
Hopefully I'll be getting 4.10s the week after next (on my vacation) and get out to the track to make use of my drag radials (MT ET Streets).
