You're traps are impressive! They show a lot of power for sure. Your 60s are real good except for that last one, lol. I'd say with some DRs or slicks you should be in the high 11s all day long. Nice work, man.

that 121 trap shows some good power! i agree with stone get some tires and some more practice and mid 11's should be easily obtainable i'd think.

what size wheels are they? I'd have to say m/t are the best dr's. but bfg's and nt05r's are also ok. just don't get 555r's.

If its your DD, then tire choice can be a headache cause the stickier ones don't hold up for DD use and the ones that do don't hook as well. Might wanna look into a separate set of rear tires/rims for the track if you DD that car.

Pretty suprised you didn't run a better E/T on the second pass. Best I could ever manage was a 12.4 on street tires and that was with a 2.1 sixty. I bet that car could do basement 12s as it sits.
