Nice man. It takes a lot of work to get to 12's in these cars. Believe me, I know. But if you take your time, and don't rush it, you'll get there.

Regit glad to hear you got it out and ran it ,sorry about the ditch . Im in the same boat as you with the car. I havent had traction for a long time and I'm in the low 13's too. What size MT are those and where did you order them? I've been looking for some but only found some M&H slicks to fit a 15x8 rim. see link slicks. Do you still spin at all?

used 22's this weekend on my stock 15's....drove 5 hrs to a Track in Cape Breton friday night ,Just got back.,got 7 passes,broke my shifter, had no rad fans working and twas 32 degrees on an open airport runway(hotter than hell),.but manage to keep the engine temps down.,. And your absoutly right jongtr!!, getting into the 12's is a b*tch!, can't get past 13.1...there is a sport compact weekend coming up so I can tune,hotlap,and get 30 or so passes in a weekend.,so I hope to figure all this out...Ive been playing with my launch each time trying to find a happy medium., During my last pull today, I set 1st gear boost to 10 psi and launched at 4000 rpm and it hooked up awesome!, but screwed my shifter and couldnt find 3rd but still ran a 13.4!, so I think with some more runs and playing with it I should be in 12's soon.....My best today was again 13.1... I'll post some track pics soon.... btw front end is all fixed,but they(shop) has to repaint it again this week cause it didnt match up perfectly.
