Post all your mods, data from logging and your last slip. It can be any number of things, including you and the way you launch the car.

Have you stripped the car? FRP/Carbon bonnet/boot, removed all carpets, light weight wheels, replaced seats with racing one piece seats, removed back seat and all audio equipment and the entire dash?

The mod list looks good. How about the time slip? If you want any help, it's important to understand where you are losing the time (at launch, mid or top end).

Your problem is the first 1/8 of a mile. To finish at 12.9 sec. your 330ft should be 5.45 and it is 5.55. Your 1/8 time should be 8.3 @85 MPH and your are at 8.5@82.6 MPH.
What kind of gas are you using? Do you get good gas in DR? Did you get a tune for your specific mods or is it a generic tune?

you are loosing traction on the line, you need either slicks or drag radials to cut a 1.8 60ft and it will all come together

Even if you get drag radials and lighter weight wheels, you still should be faster than what you are running. Look at other people's time slips and you will see that even with 2.0sec 60ft you should still get you 12.9 or faster. 1.8 sec 60ft can get you to 12.7x or better. Only data logging can tell for sure what is wrong. I would be looking at the timing, boost, IATs and AFRs. Somehow the ECU is not giving you the full power.

Rob (Needswings), is my thinking not right here? You are the real expert.

Yeah he definitely is not pulling like he should. I had less mods and a 2.002 60ft and had a 1/8 trap of 87+ and 1/4 mile trap at 110+. I think that he might have something holding him back, like clogged fuel filter etc. I told him he needs to datalog to really see the problem.

Super AMG. Look into getting a zeitronix zt2 wideband system with some type of display. Dashdaq is one of the better options but there are some others for better price.

Or just use the EC one, although it's not as fast and AFR isn't logged you will at least see timing, boost, etc.

Everyone here has missed the magical question, what tires are you running on?

Next, pump the fronts up to 45psi, and drop the rears to 30-22. Do not go below 20 psi for safety.

You'r 0-60ft time stink, to run into the 12's.

Buy some good tires, think Bridgstoe PP's, nitto's, or ANY tire with a treadware LOWER than 160.

Have fun

In addition to DRs, look at reaction time? Driver needs some mods too!

Reaction time doesn't affect the 1/4 mile time at all just to let you know.

I think this is your problem....low timing from 89oct fuel Makes sense that the car is slower on 100oct running the 89oct tune. You need EC to send you a hotter tune for the 100oct and you'll be in the 12's
