Go for it, good luck to you. Im surprised in nearly 2 years nobody has been able to surpass it, even with more power, less weight and more mods...

With NA, I have found that which mods you pick can make a big difference. I see a lot of posts about how most intakes are the same, how most exhausts are the same, but very few people end up achieving that level of trap speed (106-107mph) needed. There were a lot of bolt-on mods already on the car when I bought it but it wasn’t trapping more than a stock car IIRC, then SPL Parts convinced me to replace the Injen intake and Topspeed exhaust that was on the car for what I have now and suddenly I picked up a few mph and dropped into the 12s.

With the weather starting to turn cooler I am looking forward to drag racing again - SPL has some new tricks that they are going to test out and hopefully I’ll be deeper into the 12s with still only bolt-ons. Next year maybe heads and cams too
Very impressive. Another reason for me to stay N/A.

who wants to bet that "speedy_k" guy, that thought your R/T is related to you e.t., changed his name. He made 6 post that day (12/6/2004) and never posted again.

I need advice on getting better 60 foot times. with drag radials i am getting anywhere from 1.90 to 2.15 60 foot times while running 12.90 at 109 mph. keep in mind i'm shifting at 6000 rpms though.

What drag radials are you running?
What tire pressure?
What launch rpm?

I was running Nitto Drag radials. 245 / 45 / 17 at 26 psi. tire pressure.
For the launch I was at 3500 rpms and i either slipped the clutch a little or just dumped the clutch and got about the same results. Either way , i had to get rolling a little first before I could floor it. With trial and error, the 60' times were anywhere from 1.9 to 2.20.

those things are pretty damn small for radials man...and I'd run 'em at 20psi, warm them up like crazy beforehand.
