wow you have the same 3.73-2800 stall setup as i do, only i pull 1.74 60' with 245 nittos.

try some free mods as i did if you haven't................remove front sway bar and front bumper support and relocate the battery to the rear. that will help alot with weight transfer....it did with mine......as far as room for improvement, just keep that 60' foot time down and consistent and the watch the 1/4 mile time drop.

if you can manage a 1.74 60' i bet you will see a 12.7x pass...

good luck

What tires did you run on?
Did you have the cutout open?

Yes, the cut out was open and I ran mickey thompson street radials. (255/50/16) They are brand new and I barely did a burnout with them the 1st time and left off idle. I eased into the gas because that's how I've done it with street tires and didn't realize how well they hooked. The next pass I did about a 5 second burnout and left off idle but floored it and I hooked. I was running about 21 psi in the tires.

your da must suck b/c i run those times on a bolt on car... it seems like you had some tire slippage on your 1st run.

but everything seems right... you could get a little better 60' time and knock off another .1 off your 1/4 et.

what altitude are you at?
