Thanks, yeah I was pretty happy with the 12.87 since it was first time I've ever raced down the 1/4 mile. My aim before any further mods (except getting the trans sorted of course) is to get consistently in the low-mid 12s. I am running all stock drivetrain; no stall, 6L80 and 2.92 diff gears. my 245/35/20s are about same circumference as stock 19s too so all standard.
So reaction times don't affect ET but do affect me in eliminations races right? Traction is the issue as it usually spins right through first and half way through second but I'm determined to get low-mid 12s before I change tyres. I'm not going to rush to get any slicks as I really want to learn to get the best time possible racing it in the exact same form as I drive it daily on the street, although I may upgrade my rims and put some 275 street tyres on the rear, not legal drag radials just street tyres.
Might put it down the strip again next weekend with the shitty trans shifts and just see what it does in 'Drive' shifting into 2nd and 3rd at 6,000rpm. Trans gets fixed up week after next so will keep you posted, first exciting race I haveplanned is 9/10 March on a good strip with trans fixed, bring it on!!!
