Took it to the track and got a 12.77 @ 117.8 COULD NOT GET GRIP!!!!!! and a full tank of gas. So i bet i could get a 12.5 before out of it with these nittos. Other then that the car pulls pretty good and ill post some vids later.

You should be in the low 12s easy with a trap of 116! Time to get some good sticky tires and not a glorified street tire

i was dumb enough to air down my drag rad.s way too low and that was my problem the first time. next time i go down im going to start from 17 and work my way down 1-2 psi every pass till about 14 if they still dont hook then im thinking its time for some suspension real drag rads and some other supporting mods ;p id love deep 11's

My buddy runs in the 10's at 124mph. I don't know what u r still doing in the 12's.
Nitto's are nice for 12.5 cars and slower. Time to step it up. Maybe the M/T DR's?
