Re: Under 13 sec?

Agreed, traction is the key and gearing. I was doing 12.40's in Tucson, 12.teens at Firebird with 3650 pounds and probably barely over a honest 425(crank) HP 383

But it has steamroller tires 33x17-15 DOT slicks and 5.43 gears, with a 4800 Midwest convertor. I was crossing at 6400-6600 at only 107-109MPH

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
