    This week I'm going to be heading out again with a set of nitto DRs and see what I can do. My goal is 12.7s.

    In retrospect, my friend has the exact same motor setup that I mentioned above, since that run he's swapped to a built auto and when I went out there last week he came and ran his persoanl best of 12.23 @ 111 on a 1.69 60'.

    Granted he's got a bone stock suspension with MTs out back and I have a rigid a$$ suspension setup for turns, but still I guess it gives me a glimps of what the car could do if setup right. haha.

    Yeah dude, you've got the power to run low 12's, but there's more to cars than going fast in a straight line.

    Either way, with some practice you shouldn't have trouble hittin 12.7 on DRs as is. You'll just have to play with your launch rpms and tire pressures until you find something that works for ya.
