12's with only a 55 shot your crazy, when was the last time you were at the track...because IM a very good driver and with r/t in the 510-670 range...there are guys here with 17's and a 100 shot running 13.1s so to say that 13.5 is slow, obviously youve read more racing magazines than timeboards....

I ran a 13.8 at 101.8 with a 2.23 60' last night with 295/35/19's and I-forged 3 piece wheels. Elevation is about 1000' if I remeber correctly. See mods below, my wheel/tire combo is around 60lbs!

With my 17X9's, I would have probably pulled a 13.5-6

I couldn't believe the slip when I saw the 13.8 with my 19's. I have not yet ran with the 17's with all the mods yet, I just sold the 17's so I guess I'll never know for sure.

I made 2 other runs last night at 14.00 and 14.00 with 101.9 and 102.4, both with crappy 2.3 60' times.

Can't wait for the supercharger and some drag radials, I'll be looking for low 12's!!

So your saying by having low R/T makes you a good driver? Just so you know having a low R/T doesn't mean anything unless your bracket racing...

Next time sit on the light for like 2 seconds than go, it doesn't mean your 1/4 mile time will be 2 seconds slower, the time starts when you leave the first motion beam.

Hope its not because of the 19s....how much do your wheels weight by themselves?
