Wow man, I didn't expect to come on here and see this. Congrats on the 12s brother! I agree there is mid 12s in her. That car is hauling *** for the mods!
Question, have you tried airing those tires back up? 15 pounds is awful low pressure for a drag radial. DRs don't really work like slicks do. DRs have a street tire side wall/characteristic. Slicks have thin side walls, wrinkle up, etc. You MAY be actually getting less contact (center of tread not making contact) on that low pressure, idk...would love to hear some more opinions. I run my 555Rs at the same psi I run my street tires on and pull 1.6-1.7s on them.

I'll be heading back nov 6th, this time I am going to start a little higher with the air psi, I would love a sub 2sec sixty. Thanks for the feedback, i'll have vids this time

I gotta start getting in on these threads before stone, He always says exactly what I'm thinking lol. I'd air them up to around 20 or so atleast and start from there. The lowest I'd advise running on dr's is 18 or so. But that aside, those are some sweet times for the few mods! Really impressive. What's the purpose of the e85 splashed in? Will that be like adding torco or something?

I've thought about the effects of e85 a lot in regards to reducing knock, but never hear anyone talking about it, so I haven't tried it. My TBSS knocks under high RPM a bit, I may try mixing a gallon of E85 to a full tank..see if it does the trick.
