Almost at 12.5

Ran the track at MIR today. I hit my personal best 12.614 (targeting 12.59).
So far, my only performance mods are a Vararam and Hushpower Axle back exhaust. It's going to take a more consistent and faster R/T plus some better shifts but I KNOW I can pull of the 12.5!

With a better 60', 12.5's should be a breeze.

R/T wont effect your ET. Clock doesn't start until you do you. R/T only determines at what point you can leave without a red light. Nice times though.

Awesome times man. Those bolt-ons made a big difference. Do you have a video with how the exhaust sounds? I was thinking about getting the same setup.

Darn.. goes to show vararam does wonders. 12.6 is still a very very nice time for over two 60'

What was the DA at MIR?

I was told that Flowmaster Hushpowers actually retards performance exhaust flow, throw some straight through Magnaflows on there and see 12.4s.

I looked it up, the DA was a negative - 748 ft. So the conditons were excellent for fast times (cool air and high pressure).

I would guess he would have run 12.8s (bone stock). His axle back won't give him any HP and the Vararam is probably good for .2.

Overall excellent run.

My best time, bone stock, was a 12.9 last year at a different track. 12.8 at MIR is probably right on.
Honestly, the biggest thing for me was just learning more about prep. I hadn't adjusted my pressure on prior runs and I was launching with the RPMs way too high so there was a lot of spinning and some wheel hop going on. Just 2 weeks before this run, I ran a best of 12.8 and was pretty disappointed.
