Sounds more like a low 13's car to me.

Maybe low 13's right now but his engine has the potential to hit into the 12's. Hey rocluvr0013 small world, you live 10 minutes away from me.

Re: What do think my setup can do in the 1/4

drag radial??? forget those.. you have a stick.. sticks dont like drag radials.. get some e/t streets or hoosier qtp's..

EDIT: you see all that smoke in my sig? thats pretty much what drag radials do.. they just spin.. btw, i run drag radials.. 275/50-15 MT ET radials.. never got them to hook.. only can get low 1.8 60ft's..

What do you think it will take to hit low 12's high 11's, I thought there was many HSR Vortec headed cars running these numbers easy.

More gear a prepped auto a nice converter and slicks does wonders for a drag car.

I dont think there are many hsr vortec cars that are in the 11's n/a.

I could certainly be wrong though
