12's possible?

What do you think?

Car now runs 13.3-13.5 at around 102-103 on a cold night. Its a stock converter, 2.73 car with DRs.


I just ordered 3.73s and a yank 3200 stall.....any hope?


It has gone 1.8s - 1.9s 60' as it sits......

Possible yes, consistent 12's no. I think with the right track prep and air you should be fine.

I think you'll make it since you already have drag radials.

its going to get harder and harder to go faster and faster. I say this because the main gains from those mods are only really for 60fting. The 3.73 did add 1 mph for me tho.
I would drop for front sway bar, lose all the seats minus yours, spare and jack(this takes me 25min to do). Pray for your rear end, tq arm and 1.6 60fts. If your prayers work out you ll be in the high 12's. Guessing 12.80-90's @ 104
What mods do you have for hp?

Maybe, maybe not. A Yank 3600 is still very streetable and would give you a better chance with your goal.

There are guys that have run 13.0 with a stall DRs gears intake only. I don't see why you can't do better with more.

Pacesetters LTs, TSP true duals, K&N intake, and once everything is installed it will be dyno tuned.
