Upping the shot, any suggestions?

Hopefully I can get into the 12s on motor, but I don't think it will. Maybe a 13.0-13.1.

Yeah, I know tl;dr but that's my story.

so your story is about someone else's car going 12.80's..?

You'd be surprised. Your car is pretty light. Mine weighed 3350#'s, and even with full stock exhaust + gears and drag radials it went 13.30's, and 12.60's with the 75hp pills. It made 211rwhp/299ft lbs IIRC on motor in that trim. I never really tried to run a 12 on motor, as I didn't put the longtubes on until I already had nitrous, and everytime I went to the track I had cold plugs, 8* of timing, etc so even launching on slicks @ 5k with 3.55 gears the car bogged like a mofo and was a pig on motor. It was probably making ~190rwhp because it ran 13.50's @ 99-100 MPH on motor with the nitrous plugs/timing. I guess the only other mods I forgot to include before were megabyte Jr LCAs, welded torqueboxes, stock uppers with good rubber bushings, and polyurethane bushings in the rearend housing + quad shocks removed.

And just for the record, in the late 90's when you were still shitting your pants I went 12.80's in a stock motor daily-driver 88 LX 5.0 and 11.60's with a dry kit. True story.

Is this kind of like a retro thread?:bBishope:

Only time I took my coupe to the quarter I ran a 13.0 on some worn out drag radials on motor and a 11.6 on spray
