congrats on the times man.
welcome to the 12 second club. How much faster than that do you want to go? 12.8 is real good.

Boost, nitrous, and crack all equate to speed. Right now I want to shoot for 12.20 or better.

with a 2.0 60 ft you need some traction. you have the power to go a little faster. I went from a 2.0 60ft to a 1.9 60ft on street tires with home-made spring clamps and removing the front swaybar.

run4bux : Whats going on!! I had the silver 00 Lightning there!! My best pass was a 12.89 @ 106 hot lapping that was my 3rd back to back run. That track sucked terribly I was on nitto drag radials and only went a 2.09 60ft barely getting into the gas til after 60 ft! Where at home it's gone a best of 7.8 @ 88.15 with a 1.71 60ft. There best 1/8 mile was 8.32 @ 86 mph. Also it was kinda hot mid 80s in oct sucks!

LightninSVT: It has a lot to do with traction!! My truck has run a 110 mph on a cool night mid50's and icing the intake!

Lightninsvt what was your 60 ft on that run. The mph is there. You need traction.

AND I'll even make sure the check engine light comes on again
