Very nice. I seriously think you can break into 12's with a better 60' or just taking the system out.

Good Luck

take out the system and everything in the trunk. if you can make your car lighter, it may help too. maybe 18" wheel with slicks..i'm sure you'll get into the 12 second range. good luck.

Yeah, but you aint ballin until you run a mid 12 on street tires with full weight including system lol. As I said earlier, my ultimate goal is to hit 11's with full weight and if possible on street tires

Maybe a little to help you get out the hole and spool quicker. Also, you can get drag radials that are street legal for you wheels
