I did just barely make it but it is in the twelves so I feel good that I was able to do it. Are you using HPTUNERS? A while back I think you said you were.

I'm using EFILive and I believe I have my car tuned pretty well but when it comes to drag racing, I just can't seem to do very good.

Most of it has to do with getting a good " hole shot" and I'm not willing to subject my car to that kind of abuse just for bragging rights especially when there are others out there that can get these cars into the 11's with nothing more than drag radials.

It's really up to what's important to you. I know my car is fast but I don't want to abuse it to prove it. I hope this makes sense.

Enjoy the car and let it live a long life so it can give you years of enjoyment.

Sheesh, I'm beginning to sound like an old fart.
