Hit the strip Friday w/mixed results
Mods listed below, 10# primary, 13# secondary, 30 psi of pressure in 245/45 Potenza S02pp's on stock rims.
60ft--------2.997
1/8 ET------9.6
1/8mph----88.6
1/4 ET-----14.03
1/4 mph---112.xx
This run was with no launch b/c I'm afraid of blowing up my rear diff. Also, my synchros in 2nd, 3rd and 4th are all grinding so I can't powershift. Also, my Tanabe suspension was way too stiff; next time I'm going to soften it.
Well, what do you guys think? W/a good launch and strong tranny, am I looking at mid 12's here?
P.S. My buddy said I was shooting flames going down the track

You should be able to hit low 12s! I trapped a 13.0@111.1mph with just intake, full exhaust, and PFC w/ base maps and 14psi. That was in 90F So. Cal heat. I used Nitto 555Rs.
Slaps some drag radials on and go weeeee all the way down the track.

I ran a 12.1 @ 112mph..... so your right there. I also had a 1.69 60' on drag radials so that helped too. Also, if your shooting flames the whole way down the track, your running too rich. You ought to dyno tune your Power Fc when you get the chance. Dave programs it very rich to be safe.

Don't mind me...I just frown on FD's being used at the drag strip. Rubs me the wrong way. Waste of an incredible hardcore performance machine, not a drag box on wheels

Seriously LUPE, I read that post right after you drug it up this afternoon and all I could think was 
- what got into him??
I didn't want to be the first to say something.
By the way Michael Savage is great - he's completely psychotic.
