This is the first time i ran this car down the 1/4 and i only had it for like 5 months, but i just recently picked up some welds skinnies and fattys with a 275/50/15 nitto drag radial, and this is my first stick shift, well anyways everything i have in my sig is what i ran with. All of this was done at Maryland International Raceway.

do yall really think those are good times :D , should i get in the 12's with electronic exhaust cutouts, bbk long tubes, off road x pipe, lighting mass air, accufab 75mm throttle body and upper plenum?? and also with 4.10's?? with the guys with 5 speeds, what are yalls rpms at 60 with 4.10's?? :hail2:
 
those are some pretty good times considering your mods, were you bogging or spinning? drop the tire pressure in the nittos to about 14psi and heat them up really good. I watched a guy cut 1.8s on stock gears launching off of the limiter on mccreary's, those nittos should do the same. all he had was a midpipe and mufflers though...13.4s. Your weather must be awesome up there for racing right now.

You could easily be in the 12s with good traction......but the cut outs will slow you down alot.......with out back pressure, fuel injected stangs have zero torque, try it, its worthless........
