alright heres the deal. the 12.1@115 was on the stock rear end not this particular pass. now I have a spool with 33 splines. the pass was a 12.7 with a 1.9 60' LOL. it hooked and then bogged. I think it might get a bit of rubbing but I need to investigate further. You need a built rear end and sticky tires to pull the front up lol. My car lost some speed because I went from 4:10's on my old setup and now I have 3.55's. The car has NO weight reduction, in fact it is fully loaded with leather and every option available. theres all the weight from the supercharger and intercooler, etc. I also have a viper spec t56 which is way heavier than the stock 3650. and the rear end is a lot heavier with 33 splines. so its one heavy bitch but I am launching in boost off my 2-step so it is hitting it hard with a lot of power off the line. thats about all the info I have. I am buying skinnies in a few weeks, getting my subframes welded on and getting the torque boxes welded, then I am going to town on it and gonna try to get both tires up a little higher.

btw this was a 5500 rpm launch and I was gonna go 6k but a motorcycle broke while I was in the water box and they closed the track after that

Nice pic! Yea a dead hook at your power and weight don't compliment your 3.55 gears. lol. I bet with a 4.10+ it's launch hard if it would hook.
