i think your good for 12.0 give or take a little, trapping around 114 ( maybe + 1-2 mph faster )

and yes, you've done some better than average driving and your car is moving quite well.

I think you're overstating it a little. These times would be "ok" for an VIII with these mods, but they are sub-par for a IX. I think he's doing a great job for only getting one run, and his ET is good for the mph, but I don't think he's going to gain 27-29mph on the back end like you suggested.

My 12.000@113 was with a 7.63@90.8
My 12.26@110 was with a 7.76@88.5

This is with the same basic mods but on an 05. I think you did similar times in yours. His 7.8X@87.X would be likely be slower than both.

No, because deep staging only hurts your 60' potential.

You want to just BARELY light up the stage bulbs. this will help your 60', et, mph and consistancy with yuor reaction times.

you might get a better reaction time deep staged but you lose all of the above.

lol i love it.

ya i just pulled up one of my 12.5 slips and kinda went from that when i made my judgement. i wont say its a bad run, but i think we can all agree theres room for improvement, but your beating a lot of people already
