How am I doing so far?

Current mods in sig.
Went on a hot 95+ night. Was prostreet so there was good track prep. Only got one run in before breaking it.

13.15 @ 109 w/ 2.0x 60'
Street tires
Clutch was slipping pretty bad at the top of 3rd/4th, but I think my trap speed is about right. With better air/clutch I could see 110, but nothing magic since I am on stock heads.

My Clutch

Here in @ a week I am going back with borrowed 12 bolt and slicks. (ET drags I think they are). Assuming that my spec II holds up, and a 1.6-1.7 60' magically happens. Should I be good for an upper-mid 12 sec pass?

At 109 I was in the 11's, but a whole lot has to do with how the car is set up. If your clutch is slipping without traction, save your money because slicks and a 12 bolt will send you home on a trailor.

Nope, was towed home already. The spec will hold a few passes, its not slipping anymore. New clutch. And the 12 bolt is a temp thing, I am not buying it,,,rather borrowing it.

Mind you this car has no suspension mods. I just replaced the stock shocks w/ 120k miles on them. The times I know can get better, but the mph I am happy with.
