Default My time with my no longer usable slicks!!!

Im sure it would have been a 12s pass but my old slicks were maybe at the end of their time with the bad 60foot i got there!!!

I1-->2.025
I2-->8.345
I3-->13.005
MPH-->108.8

I need to save money and bu new slicks soon!!! I should be in the 1.6-1.7 range not 2.0

For your power/weight, sounds about right. What size slicks/rims?

Maybe my slicks are too big Do you guys think some 20/8/14 would be better??? Im sure the car can pull some mid 12s easy with the right combo

your 1/4 ET is about right considering you did an 8.3 1/8th...your mph is a bit high for your ET...get the most out of your 60' and 330' times and you can be a mid/high 12 car...
traction bar?

With 108 mph, you should have no problem digging into the mid 12's. I trap somewhere in the 109 range the majority of the time and have a stack of 12.50's with mid/low 1.70's. Several 12.40's as well on good nights. You have the power, all you need is the traction now.
