Back when fall was coming and on a slippery track I kept running crappy 12.7 @ 111 my best. This was when it was fully STOCK. I was running 275s at that time.

Now I have some 285s waiting for spring time to arrive. I also did straight pipes to the stock mufflers (I found out my secondary's were clogged), ECU tune and AFE filters and a healthy overall tuneup. The car pulls alot harder now, I can feel it and the S/C noise is more prominent.

What times can I expect in spring time?

far too many variables like track prep, da, and driver ability to really make an accurate prediction but who cares...i say 12.1x.

good luck!

thnx!

I guess I will have to wait and see! Spring is 1 month away. Can't wait for the strip to open. I'm aiming for 12.5x @ 115+ for the least...

ATKM5 what were your best runs that night?

Yep you will have a blast !

I definately agree with you your trap should improve regardless of ET.

115 is absolutely possible . I will stick to my 12.4 prediction and give you 115 :-D
