Knockin on the door of 12 seconds

I went to the track this sunday and ran a 13.1 @ 106

R/T .92
60' 2.07
330 5.662
1/8 8.583
1000 11.04
1/4 13.14
MPH 106.87

All i have is loudmouth, ypipe, slp lid. My main problem is traction.

It sucks being soooo close. I was this ---><--- close yesterday, 13.009 I need to lighten up the hog a little bit. Hopefully I'll hit a 12.99999999999 this season and I'll be happy.

Thumbs up Your MPH is there - and better than mine !

Speaking of 12's, try this on for size:

W/ a 2800 stall & the same mods as the run in the sig, last tim eout I hit a 13.04 @ 104.62 (10/12/03 ~ 80 degrees ~ 62 - 65 % H2O ).

.072 off my best time !

Actually, I guess I should be , but that would not give me any reason to bellyache !!


Tires should solve your problem - my 60's w/ the converter & Kumho's are around the 1.9 to 2.0 range.

On the 13.04 , I got a 1.890.
