12.9 is pretty good, as UL said, you should be able to hit mid 12s if you optimize a few things such as tire pressures and launch technique. 12.1 would be a little harder to accomplish from the trap speeds you are showing.

Lets not forget one thing:

The faster you go, the harder it is to go faster... Some people forget this...

BTW, areyou on stock drivetrain? CLutch, diff, drive/half shafts?

Told ya 12.1 wasn't gonna come easy From the looks of the trap speeds a mid 12 should be in your future though with some more traction....

Congrats on the 12! I was at the track on Thurs. and saw a few of your runs, including the 12. Your car is definatly a sleeper. I was parked by you for part of the night and had no idea you were turbo'd until I saw you run. The FMIC looks like a radiator to the unsuspecting eye. Very nice!

Good job Chris, maybe if you had matching tires in the rear you would have done better.

Also, if you get some better tires you should be able to cut your 60 ft. time to around 1.8xx which should help your time out quite a bit. Might require a little refinement as far as technique goes but if this was your first time at the track with this car, I'd say it's pretty successfull. I'll come down sometime and show you how to drive your car.
