right now im just on the 3.12 pulley but with my new tune which feels great and broke into 11's last night.If i do a say 4th gear pull from low rpm's i see low 12's like 12.0-12.1-12.2 max until i build some boost up then fall to high 11's and around 11.4-11.5 at redline..seems good i just want it to hold up, i gotta figure out how to hook up my aem wideband and log to my laptop or how i actually wire it to the laptop because it has a blue datalogging wire coming out of it i just have taped off, ill have to call aem or someone chime in..

Got a 13.1@112 last week on my ever balding OEM tires. 3 tenths better than my previous best. Don't think I'm going to be able to do much better without some supporting rubber. Looking forward to 12's soon!

dj where in MD do you live?

I may be willing to provide my slicks to you and some track guidance, so long as you know the possible consequances of what could happen.

Id guarantee 12.7 easy after a few passes.

You're dragging it at the track right? Then you're not too afraid. As others have said, work on the 60' time and work on your shifts too. Just my 2 cents.

I live near Crofton, a 10 minute drive from Capitol raceway. I'm assuming you mean that with slicks I might pop an axle or something similar?

My 13.1 run had a 2.1 60'. The rest of my 60' was between 2.2 and 2.5. My shifting is pretty consistent, I don't think that is my main problem.

the line between traction and wheelspin seems about as thick as a nut hair when launching. To compound the issue, my comp stg4 clutch is VERY grabby, and the engagement point is not always consistent.

About 50% of the time I spin/hop off the line and abort the run. Sometimes I spin half way through 1st or 2nd. I turned off the boost controller so boost doesn't come on as suddenly and it helped but my trap speeds went down a few mph.
