    Thats very cool. I never did get my stroker setup to run 12s. I just couldn't get it tuned right or something was off in the combo.

    So what kind of tires were you running? And what was the actual time, speed and 60ft time? I bet theres still more in the car with a little tweaking and some harder launchs on drag radials. And then the nitrous should knock off half a second or more. My 100 shot was good for .7 seconds. Might be even more in his car since its lighter, I weighed 3350 with me in it.

    That is really an accomplishment..................any time you break into the 12's. A lot of people think having a motor with mega HP will get them into low numbers at the track, but the way the car is setup tells the tale and racing a stick car is really an art in itself..................one of the reasons I have raced automatics for some 30 years.
    My hate is off to you, and it only gets better from here!

    Ah man, thanks guys! I just saw this thread. Thanks to Bryant for sure, he is the evil genius behind it all. The tires are Et street MT and it has a 3.80 gears in the 8". I had a little trouble trying to spray nitrous so I'll test it out some more and I'm sure we'll figure it out. Here is the time slip

    Congratulations to you! What I would do to get my car running that fast. I bet it was a blast to make that pass.

    1.60ft shouldn't be a problem at all. I think the fastest 60ft I have seen on 275 radials is around 1.15 in x275
