Ok all of my dragpack still hasn't shown up. But now I have the drag racing bug ,So again on stock tires at the same track but launching like Pray said 2000rpm millisecond rollout,It went a 12.26@114 with a 1.88 60' & 12.23@113 with a 1.87 60',I still had wheel spin but not nearly as much ,also the tires did like more heat then just cleaning off like I did last week ,again like Pray said ,Anyways I believe there is more in it with practice.

Glad it worked out for you. If you are getting wheel spin then you need to lower the pressure, get a little more roll, or heat them up a little more. You should be able to get to a 1.75 60ft on the stock tires. That would have put you into the 12.0's. I start with a bit of roll and a fast roll on of the throttle and work my way up to tire spin. Your best 60ft will be just before tire spin.

Seems the M&H racemaster front skinnies are as hard to get as kooks headers,or a whipple, so I went ahead and mounted the rears.after about a 10 mile drive Tpms light came on . I bought the program tool worked great.Tried a couple hole shots tires are hooking ,will go back to the strip Friday evening and see what happens.This will also give me an idea of how much the front skinnies will help whenever they show up.Name:  20170413_175258.jpg

I bought my fronts before Christmas from Jegs or Summit. They had plenty of stock back then.

They are back ordered from both places now,I think my original order at summit was on 3/21 and they were suppose to ship next day,date has been getting moved back every few days since,got a email 4/12 saying will ship on 5/5 now.When I checked Jegs site it was like middle of May. Main reason I went with the M&H was for these DOT skinny fronts after seeing pictures of your car.Local track has a drive in street class I want to run in .

Well it went 12.00 @114.30 with a 1.739 60' if only I was smart enough to do a good burn out I would have gotten that 11.99 or with my front skinnies, anyways this was probably it for the good air until fall, not sure how I feel about the M&H tires yet ,I wasn't consistent at all with my burn out.On the way to and from the strip one of the tires has a bad vibration/thumping hope it's just a balancing issue and nothing wrong with the tire itself

Just wanted to throw this out there I'm still on the fence with these M&H rears best 60' so far has been 1.739 ,I was expecting better and haven't had consistency I'm gonna play more with pressure but as of right now I'd rather have Mickeys, my front skinnies finally came and I really like them though.

You have probably bottomed out till you do some mods to gain some more torque and hp.
