All my mustang buddies pushing crazy power swear by M/Ts, or Hoosiers... Nittos/bfgs are ok...

go with MT they have unreal grip and blow everything away,Iv had nt05s,bfgs and M/T and those suckers are almost impossibe to break loose on a stock E55,like traction off and floor it in 40 degree weather and they still freaking hook up.
My only problem with them was they didnt make a size I was looking for and nt05s and bfgs had that size.
put it this way,I just put on a new set of pilot super sports and they grip just as good if not better than my bfgs do on normal driving,the bfgs are only good once heated up and they have like a B or C temp rating so they suck cold.
the MTs on the other hand were always like glue and even in the winter would grip well(stock boost)once I went huge pulley and headers they were giving me problems and thats when I started looking into 285 sizes for an 18s wheel

Hoosier's or M/T's 16" or 17" 275 or greater. Will stick all you can throw at it. Can't run them daily, and hoosiers cannot be run on the highway. The sidewalls will fail with extended driving.

Ran a 1.6 60 ft on 18 inch Drag Radials (Hoosiers)
I'm shocked that the car ran a 12.5 with all those mods seems like traction might not be the only issue unless you are using traction and you are getting blocked on 2nd when you spin down the track. Is the car in dyno mode?
