Well unfortunately I didn't get my 12.5 (no worries Chris, decided no cliff), but I did have a good day. Unfortunately I got there late and the place was packed so I only got three runs in. Removed tonneau, better temps (60's), and getting my wheels static balanced (no vibration now!!!) helped me pull out a 12.7, and back to back 12.6's (12.635, and 12.636)CRAZY close!!!! Both last runs were at 110MPH, best trap was 110.50MPH.
New P.R.!!!!!

Nice man, were you spinning or bogging? With your MPH you could run 12.3-12.4's
Mostly spinning! It kinda sucked, it was my first time running without the tonneau and I only got three runs so I really didn't get dialed in. I wanted to drop another .5 or 1 more lb out of the tires but didn't get another run.

What kind of rear tire you were running? With a better 60', youll surpass that 12.5 goal with ease sir. One tenth(.10) off 60' is usually .2 of your 1/4 e/t. Either way good job on a new personal best. You WILL get better and looking forward to it.
M&H 390's, but I bought them used last year and they are like 6 years old. Maybe new ones along with a traction aid and I think I could do better.

I believe so too. Just keep at it. I went from 2.2 to some 1.6's. I personally found a full slick is much easier to launch. However you will e/t better with a drag radial once you learn how to launch it.
I dont see any sort of traction bars if your signature of mods. Be very careful you dont get any wheel hop. Traction bars and a drive shaft IMO is a must. Twisting a drive shaft is can destroy your truck when it goes. My buddy did it on his low 12 sec Ram Daytona.
A line lock will also help you do your burnout, save brakes and possibly shed a tenth or two off the big end.

Congrats, Jeremy! You'll have a sub 12.50 pass in no time. You've got a couple tenths in that first 60'.
Yeah man after 6 years the tires are so hard they aren't doing you much good.

These should help you out a lot, they'll hook and with the slightly shorter tire it'll be like running a lower gear at the track...

Talking with a guy a Pep Boys & he said Hoosier Racing Slicks makes a tire that will fit our stock wheel. Haven't checked it out yet.
6000 rpm is 109.6mph 6200 is 113mph with 28" tires and 4.56 gears
I'd say he is mistaken, however if the make one post it up.
My tires are over 29", I think.
Yeah mh390's are 29.3' was just pointing out that you could make it on a 28" tire with your power level, venomous1 ran a 12.1 with 28" tires and 4.56 gears so I know for a fact that they work
