11.50 @ 121 if it hooks and the weather is nice.

12.0 @ 122 ET is all about launch and you say nothing about having a drag tire.

his sig says his best is 12.1 @116 on DR's... so I would assume he's using DR's again

a 12.1 @ 116 + a 75 shot should be about an 11.5-11.6 @122

If he was hooking the current drag radial combo 116mph would already have him in the mid 11s. Adding more power to a car that doesn't hook isn't necessarily going to make it quicker, it'll just spin more.

they must be really ****ty DR's or maybe he's leaving soft... worried about his 10-bolt

because if he's got some MT ET streets or something like that, there's no reason a mid 116mph car doesn't dead hook... 116 doesn't fry off DR's

so if he can launch it halfway decent this time then he should have no problem dropping over a half second off his previous best
