Paper/figure racing means s**t on a real dragstrip or out on the street. Sorry to bust your bubble, Professor.

I wasnt trying to state it was true, I was saying that it may be true. We will just have to see if the theory was right or wrong when he(2007torchred) goes to the racetrack and crosses in 3rd.

<"It would improve it. Every shift takes away time(each shift takes away a couple tenths) so staying away from the 3rd to 4th shift crossing the line would help.">

Sounds like you were

I will edit that to say should instead of would.

I hope to go back to the track and try it again. I think the next mods I get will be 3.73's and tires.

went to the track last tuesday- my third day out, best I managed was 13.78(bone stock stick-full tank of gas), another guy came out for his first time(stick-wms intake/tune) and ran a 13.44 with TCS on...I really think cai/tune/drag radials would get you close, add a set of gears and hang on
I think stock tires would be limiting factor for most drivers to get 12's- unless you can really do some majic with the clutch, but Im sure theres guys(and gals) out there that can do it- probably hard as heck on the clutch though...getting full power thru stock tires in first gear for that all important first 20 feet is the hard part...3.73/4.10 would quicken things up a bit, but launching clean will be even harder, plus you gotta grab 4th...I want to pickup a set of drag radials just to see what I can do bone stock with my sloppy launches...have heard the sticks can get 13.6 stock, but not me yet...but I'm guessing most drivers could get .3 with tires alone
