Default What am I doing right and/or wrong?

I wanted a little input on my last day at the track, my trap speeds are pretty high and obviously I'm spinning through a majority of the track. This pass was made with Falken Azenis, full interior, 3/4 tank of gas in a turbo ITR. I was just curious what I can expect next season when I get some slicks. I'll also have around 25 additional horsepower.
This is my best pass to date at Bandimere Speedway(over a mile high altitude):
12.795@121MPH w/ a 2.2 60ft. time

Thanks for any input.
Mark

With slicks (assuming you can rip off a 1.8) and with the extra ponies, I don't see how you could fail to hit high 11's or better .

yeah your street tires are absolutly killing you. although i would think you could pull better than a 2.2 60. when you get the slick i would think you could easily hit high 11's. good luck bro btw: how are you getting the extra 25? this is crank hp i'm assuming?

Hi (01ITR#700) try this and I have seen this so many times, if they put VHT down walk the line to see were it is stick'y, watch the racers were they line up @ the lights, now if you know it is stick'y all the way across the line move over to the right or left alittle, if you stay were all the racers take off @ the VHT will be gone.

Thanks for listening

Cool, thanks for the info.
I'm actually still technically untuned for the most part, My air/fuel is safe for now but has never been fine tuned whatsoever. I'm told I can easily extract 25-50 more horsepower at the wheels via tuning(I have Hondata). I'm putting down 380whp right now, I want to make 400whp and I'll be happy with that.
Thanks.
Mark

If you were to cut that 60' down to sub 2.0 times 1.8-1.9 you would be looking at high 11's pretty easy. You're mph shows you have the horsepower for an 11 second run. You'd probably be looking at 11.8-11.9 range at about 116-117 with traction.
