Vortech SC, dc sports header, JIC single outlet exhaust, JIC coil overs, and some other stiffening mods.

I know this car is capable of 12.9-13.1, if I could have got a little traction earlier. My 60 foot on that run was 2.0xx, 1/8th mile was 8.7xx, reaction time was .875. I am capable of.555-.600 reaction times. So that is why I say I know the overall time could be lower.

Lilke I said, there wasn't any traction gained until the top of 2nd. I would be running down the track sideways throttling off and on to straighten the car out.

The track that I went to is known to be unprepared for open street nights. It is a NHRA certified track, all of the big names in drag racing run at texas motor plex.
