    I can't get over your car want run in the 13's with all the mods you have, you have way more mods than me, and with the mods in my sig my car runs consistant 13.8's and 13.60's @102 when the track is prepped right and that's on 245'sx17x8.5 on street tires, i'm sure if i had slicks or radials i could get a 13.3 easily.My car still has the factory 3.27's. With the extra mods you have on me and if you had drag radials or slicks, you should be able to get into the 12's. One big plus with your car is that you have suspension work done to it here and there, that should really help for when your launching.

    Not necessarily. The type of springs he has makes his car less of a drag racer and more of a "handler." Your stock springs are actually better for drag racing than his.

    If you were to compare 60's with him, yours are probably lower, hence your lower ET's.

    Well lower times also come with more practice, elevation, and track conditions, the track i run at often is concrete in the box for about 100 ft. then the rest of the track is asphalt which hooks up better if prepped right.

    Absolutely, but if your suspension setup isn't meant for drag racing, your 60ft times will only get so good, no matter how much practice you have.

    We have to consider all of the variables in 99 FL's equation before we can anaylze his times.
