Well I went to the bracket race tonight.

I did much better and the weather improved.

I ran a pair of 13.00's at around 105.75 or so w/ 1.90 and 1.88 or so.

Then in my first round i dialed a 12.90 and I saw I was way ahead got off the gas just lightly at the end for fear of breaking out but i ran a 12.93 w/ a 1.85 60 foot.

I made it to round 2 and almost won but my reation time sucked and for some reason i slowed back down to a 13.00 on my 12.9 dial but hey I had fun and I'm learning my cars new setup and my new track.. I think i may be able to go 12.80 when i get a better handle on the car some more and I'm going to be doing a custom dyno session soon to tweak out my tune.

Either way im stoked finnally hit a 12!!

Nice times!

Looks like I need to do some shopping for exhaust components.

Congrats and welcome to the 12-second club! Now the trick is to mod just a little more so that you never run a 13 of any kind ever again. 12.XXX's from here on out for you!

Best 1/8 mile was 8.27 @ 84.17mph

Thanks guys for all the comments!


Yeah, I got a couple minor things planned that should help me get steady 12's in the future.

Congrats man! 12's is my goal but I haven't been able to run the car yet, being in Iraq sucks! 22 days left! I'm gonna need more mods and lots of seat time before I can even think about hitting 12's

+1 It may take me a couple of years to get there as I need to budget my money. Planning on getting underdrive pullies this spring (I hope).

Congrats. For low $ mods and better ETs, put on some delete plates and short belt the car. 12.5xs and better are obtainable.

Congrats on making it into the 12s
In Sept, I came up just shy by running 13.022...TWICE!!!!! I know the weather didn't help, but I was still let down I plan on throwing a few thousand (cams, LTs, converter, DS) in it before the season starts next year (staying N/A) and running the short belt and hopefully putting down consistent mid to low 12s!
