damn, that is a good 60' on those BFG's. what air pressure was used? i did a 11.71 @124.xx with M&H 25' slicks. cut a 1.92 60'. i am guessing you could prob hit mid 11's.

the 24.5's will lower your 60 foot times whick in the end will give you a few tenths, if everythings works out the szame. i say you can get a good low 11 sec pass with that mph. but who knows GO TRY IT

i think i had the tire pressure at like 8 or 9lbs. i think i could get it faster but i need more seat time,plus the track in new hampshire suck.

wowsie..that low? tonight i did really bad with the same tires u're using. i was running with 18psi of tire pressure. Can't get them to hook up. Best i did was 13.8@107mph.

With my dunlop street tires...i did 13.5@112mph w. 2.54 60'.

If you straight hook up and don't spin, your mph will probably come down a little, so at 123-124 expect mid 11s.

you should bring your tire pressure down...
those bfg's will hook once yo get the tire pressure down to about 13psi and lower...
best 60 was like 1.91 but still only managed a 12.6@119
stock open diff = one wheel wonder (0-traction down the track)
bring your tire pressure down and you should be ok.
