Default What MPH needed for 12's?

I currently have a best trap of 100.79 and am running 13.7's. Consider traction to be in the 2.0-2.1 (what I currently pull on street tires). What kind of traps am I looking for? I'm thinking 105-106mph could get it done.

I agree, 104mph will get u 12's in a fwd as long as u can hit low 1.8 60's. w/ 2.0 60's is gonna take closer to 110mph and shifting mad fast yo!(unlike me)

You need some slicks. I have a set of Bogarts with 13x8x22 brand new M&H slicks on them for sale $500 shipped. Four Lug though.

I was doing 13.7's with slicks at 99.68mph so 105, 106 should break you into the 12's. I was also getting 1.8XX 60fts so you 2.0 and 2.1's will come down. You'l need like 1.7 60ft's

i broke a 12.9 with a 100 mph; this is on slicks 22x8x13.

sounds like u are running the 13.7 on street tires. Slicks will reduce your speed by a few mph.
