Congratulations. Your 60' looks *wonderful* to me

Take a look at my 60' to see how bad it could be

Keep practicing your launch and fiddle around a little bit with tire pressure. Eventually you'll get that 60ft and ET down. Nice job anyway, wish I were in the 12's.

maddog,
First and foremost, welcome to the 12's. Just to give you an idea of the difference that 60's will do for you here is a little info of my last run (with old combination) so you can compare:

60: 1.964
330: 5.285
1/8: 8.053
MPH: 88.36
1000: 10.433
1/4: 12.425
MPH: 113.91

Again, welcome to the 12's and I agree with everyone else that once you get your 60' down a little bit you'll be knocking on low/mid 12's.

Take care,
Tim

Think rear suspension & as previously suggested, mess w/tire pressure. My car on BFG's when I had 'em liked about 14 in the right and about 17-18 in the left, with an airbag in the right rear spring. Had that pressure set @ about 20psi. Left pretty straight last year up north. May change my setup for this year. I seen no difference from boxed LCA's and adj. panhard, but that was just my slow *** POS, lol! Congrats!
