I agree, with the right tires you can get in the 1.X 60 foot range somewhere and you will drop .2 for every .1 of 60ft reduction. A lot of guys concentrate on power and not on getting it to the ground. I'm not picking on you, so put the gun down Duff, lol. I'm just pointing out something simple you can do to increase your et's dramatically and harness any future power gains you make with the car. Hell, a friend of mine has a box stock 5.0 engine in his coupe, with shorty headers, off road H and a gear. He has gone a best of 12.7 shifting it like he stole it, but he has put all his money into the suspension first, getting it to hook and go. Yeah, it will bog sometimes, but he's played with the launch rpms and tire pressures to where now he's like clockwork, every pass right where the previous one was. I think your car could go into the 14's pretty far without any further hp mods. I would like to see you try it for sure. Just ask Duff and others that are running sn's and getting great 60' times what they have changed to their suspension. Good luck with it, and not bad for your first times with the car at the track.</p></blockquote><p></p>
