What are you hoping for at the Shootout?

What kind of times are you all hoping to run?

I'd be completely satisfied with a 12.5 myself. 320awhp, you think it's possible?

Right now I am hoping that my car runs down the track ! Trying to change the whole set up around in one week after the DSM shootout was too much to bite off for sure !

Yup, I thought I would regret not going too much.

My primary goal is better then 11.88@116.51 in full weight. I'm going to be mph limited being on the stock flash. Other goals, get more 1.5x 60's and don't break the car. Also finish good if I do bracket.

Too much to ask for? Maybe

Hopefully the weather holds, it'll suck to drive 400 miles to look at the race track.

I'm wondering what to expect from my 320awhp car. I'm a crappy driver, but improving, I ran 12.9 at MIR when it was 90+ degrees and humid as a ****.

I think I've been shifting very slowly, so I'm gonna bang gears at E-town and hope for the best.

the 12.9 run was without 272 cams.

You analize everything man, it's comedy. You should look into the stock market bro, the "just the facts ma'am" attitude is rare and could get you places =p

Also, try to keep in mind that meteorological prognosticators (weather men) are only going by best guess. If I was wrong in my job as much as those guys, I'd be unemployed.
