I went to my local track yesterday, and got my best time to date:

05 GT automatic, 4.10 gears, C & L intake, Alternative Auto 93 tune, flowmaster

temp: 62
Humidity: 47
absolute baro: 29.48

r/t: .239
60': 1.965
330: 5.545
1/8: 8.490
mph: 83.05
1000: 10.982
1/4: 13.224
mph: 104.16

this was on the stock tires, and flashing the converter.

What should be next on the list for high 12's?

Great 60' time, underdrive pulleys and drag radials would have probably gotten you there!

9 is not my lucky number.

Get 2 more spare rims and Mickey Thompson 3743 biasplys and you will run 12.70 with your 4.10s

E.T. is in the 60ft, does it spin?

It has to be spinning, my first run was 13.407 @ 104.31 with a 2.07 60'

A TCI 3000 stall converter and M/T drag radials should lower your ET's by 5 tenths.

George... is that TC "streetable" or is it too much for a daily driver? What about if you throw a blower into the equation?

excellent question.

as i'm near the 12 too i think go for 4.10 gear to help a little my 60ft, but the TC would be also nice, but it's my daily car. 90% town driving.

The converter is very streetable. I've put a couple thousand miles on the car with no issues. As for a positive displacement blower I wouldn't go above a 2500 RPM stall.
