12.7 not too happy
well i finally took it the drag strip last night..only got to run 3 times..best was a 12.7 at 109 mph..with spraying at the end of 1st gear..it was 95 degrees out
rt- .811
60- .2.058
330- 5.446
1/8- 8.263
mph- 86.61
1000- 11.761
1/4 12.78
mph 109.51
how much could i lose with running slicks and spraying closer off the line..i was past 60' when i hit the nitrous

Good ET/MPH. I know back when I was using stock tires, spraying at the beginning of 2nd gear was only dropping my ET by 2 tenths but I'd gain 6-7 mph. I was running 14.3s vs. 14.1s and finally a 13.9 by spraying at the end of first gear. All of this was on a 75 shot.
Bumped it up to a 100 shot a month later and stuck on some MT 255/16 et radials and it dropped to a 12.9 with a 1.8 60'.
Are you going to gain a full second? Probably not, but the answer is yes when asked, will you gain ET by spraying out of the hole as opposed to at the end of first gear. IF you can hook of course.
The 60' is where it's at.

I have seen trucks drop almost 2 seconds in the quarter with a 125 shot in nasty humid/hot weather.
