So I got to make some runs yesterday, still havent broken into the 12's yet, but getting pretty close. Had a couple 13.2@105+mph passes in 1487 feet DA. Not too bad I guess for running full street trim and stock 22inch rims and tires.
I'm still having launch issues with the street tires, either having to roll out a couple lengths before getting on it or totally blowing the tires out doing big rolling burnouts. Getting better at launching though, hopefully I can find that spot where I wont have to waste so much time rolling out and get onto the gas quicker. Didn't even bother lowering my tire pressure since I was having to roll out so far, probably coulda shaved off a couple hundred pounds dropping my spare, bedcover and wing, and tailgate, but ahhhh I like run it on the strip how I run it on the street.
Dunno if I woulda broke into the 12's with such a high DA anyway, but there was definitly some e.t lost on the soft launches. Dragtimes says a 13.2@105 turns into a [email protected] at sea level from a 1487ft DA so thats good news.
Other news is I was getting smoked all day from a nice lady driving Challenger SRT-8 with CAI, cam, headers, straight pipes/full exhaust, tune, and drag radials. She was usually running a 12.8-12.9@108 with a best of [email protected] with a 1.8 60 ft., she even took a long break and came back running her nitrous and ran a 11.8@119mph. Her husband busted out a blown mopar big block Cuda that they were trying to get dailed in and the damn thing was still running 9.50's.
Had a blast though, got some decent times, still need to practice getting the launches down.
