    I'm in the same boat, I want to hit 12's too, 13.4 is my best, but I also want to keep my car lowered because of the looks. But at some point it becomes function over form and I'm always looking at ways to improve my 1/4 times. For sure you need some better axles, also I see that you plan on getting a traction bar, that should help and I'm not sure, but what kind of tires are you running at the track?

    Bad news, the splines of the axle are stuck in the Halfshaft, cant get it out, plus it looks like the teeth on the halfshaft are busted....no track tomorrow guys, gonna have to wait till next time.

    I want the car at its current ride height, i love the look, but for the track like i said i will try a couple things to go faster. First tho i wanna see how the current setup does, i still think i can hit 12s with the way she sits now, we'll wait and find out i guess. Thanks for all the support!
    if your that close to 12s and your car looks that good, i wouldnt sweat it man. your as fast, if not faster than most people up here and you car looks hot. haha. dont hit 12s until like 2 year form now. because once you do, you might not want your car anymore. lmao.

    Being extremely lowered and camber are both best friends of looking good and going slow in a straight line.
    fixed again.

    Of course it hooks, you launched as if you were taking off from a street light.

    I didnt touch the front camber just the rear, i understand lowering it brings the camber in tho. However i am able to put down full boost in 2nd gear with these tires with just minimal spinning. 1st gear also hooks very well, these are R compound sticky tires, 235 width. I want to leave the car as is and see what i can get with it, down the road i could always raise it, remove more stuff from the car, run slicks, etc. But first i wanna see what it runs as is, as it would as a full street car.

    I doubt you'll get much better than a 2.2 the way your suspension is set up and I doubt you'll hit 12's until you change it. Even if you got more power, you won't be able to get it down to the ground.

    Just need to learn to drive lol I wont stop till i hit 12s with street tires and full weight. Ultimate goal for me would be a street car with pump gas that can do 12.5s at 120mph. That would be good, but maybe ill throw some race gas in there and go for more power? heh Thanks for the comments Josh there are quicker CB7s tho and i dont plan to be the fastest

    Yes. 110-112mph is low 13, high 12.

    HOLY CRAP that is horrible! Yes, your 60 foot is the first 60 feet of the track. It indicates how well you launch and how good the rest of your run will be when taking your power and weight into consideration.

    Drop that 60' under 2.0 and you'll be at the edge of 12's.
    He ran 2.518 60' and ended up with 13.7 @ 110 with a shitty launch (he admitted that), and 17psi of boost...If he does a better launch on his next run and is able to bring down the 60' to say 2.2 while running under 20psi of boost, do you think he'll be able to hit low 13s bro?
