Got another few runs at the track last sat. Got the ole girl moving a little faster i think my tires are really limiting my performance though.. 235 55 r17!!
anyway got down to a 13.275 @ 107.4 w/ 2.24 60ft i believe my 60 ft is killing me but my mph trap is hella fast!

Definitely 12's with that trap speed. That's moving for your mods man. Time for some rubber. Sounds like that dyno tune really helps!

Oh wow.

Well, just did a little research. Was that at Memphis Motorsports Park? If so, they're considered one of the fastest NHRA tracks, so that makes sense. Low elevation really helps trap speeds.

Low ambient temps also enable the engine to produce more hp.

Very impressive! With DRs your 60's will drop along with your MPH, BUT your E.T.s could be really close to 12s

I hear ya. But on the other hand, you would know if your car can break into the 12's as currently modded.
