I would venture to guess you aren't quite at 300 at the wheels yet. Assuming good driving ability and track conditions, I would agree that mid 13s should be easily obtainable.

275 rwhp, 13.7x et. You should go dyno and then go to the track. If you add or change something, go back again. That way "you'll" know. That's what I do. With my mods I'm at 300 rwhp now, next week I'm adding 1.7 rockers and heading to the dyno, I use the same one every time.

you dont need more power, you need SUSPENSION AND TIRES

instead of the pulleys and roller rockers, get an adjustable torque arm, lower control arms, relocation brackets, and drag radials....

If your looking for traction, those aren't the wheels or tires to be looking at.


I would personally be looking at some 15" or 16" wheels, and some MT ET Radials or BFG's..

With 300 rwhp, you should be able to hit high 12's with traction. I agree with these guys that you need traction before more hp at this time. If you want to drive the drag radials everyday then get Nitto's. Otherwise, the MT's or BFG's.

That would definitely put you at or over 300 at the wheels.
