I dont have all the slips but I do have the best run, so here it is. Please remember that this is on street tires and im not going into full throttle till I hit third or I get bad wheel hop and spin very easily.
Reaction... .1463
60 ft... 2.0633
330ft... 5.4850
1/8 ET... 8.3000
1/8 mph... 90.84
1/4 ET... 12.5437
1/4 mph... 117.25
The funniest part of the night was there was an auto C5 Vette with heads, cam, and he said an X pipe (I didnt know you could get an X for the Vette). He was running 12.0's with BFG drags. Anyhoo... he called me out and at the time I was taking my front headlight out for more air. I didnt show and he ran some truck. Well I went to the tower and talked to the announcer and he called the Vette out for me. I told him that I would race under one condition and that was if he went back to street tires because that all I had. He said he would but he ran a few more times and dipped out on us. LOL What a punk, huh?
Yeah... I was scared. I only wanted it to be fair. I cant get traction in first, second, and sometimes third... how am I gonna hang with something on drags? Besides, I was running 12.5's on street tires and he was running 12.0-12.3's all night on BFGs. LOL. Give me a pair of drag radials or slicks and I would annhiliate him. But then again... it wouldnt be fair because of my blower, now would it?

Doooood, If you think an IRS brace is going to hold that thing together with 600 hp and slicks....
EDITED to remove the names I should not have used in the first place. My apologies to Jdaniels. I still believe that you should run what you brung, and you can't call some one out and then demand them to start taking stuff off their car.
WOW... I dont know what to say to that! I will be posting better times... and no, im no 1500 lb Volkswagon bug and never would I be caught dead in one reguardless of how fast it is. If you would learn to read correctly, he called me out first talking trash. So quit jumping to conclusions and name calling is way beyond my maturity level... obvisously not yours.
Anyways...

Well, just bring a broom and dust pan.
There are guys running 700+ rwhp running 9's in the quarter with the IRS brace and bushings.

592 RWHP and mid 12's hehe you gotta hang out with the Supra crowd now!!
but 117 mph seems WAY WAY low for 592rwhp. something doesn't seem right. Your only picking up 7mph with 200 more HP then stock?
Like I said in the beginning... Im not getting on it till im in third or I will break loose. If I power shift it into third I will break loose. Most of you guys here have yet to drive anything with 450+ hp and dont know what its like. So jumping to conclusions and saying that mid 12's @ 117 mph on street tires isnt right obvisously have no clue.

No, you're right. 117 is more than likely a mid 11 pass. But remember you're going to trap a little higher spinning street tires.
Even so. I think you need to spend some time working on the suspension. Theres no reason to be shooting for 11's with 600 hp to the tire. That time should start with a 10. So before you start getting crazy, set the car up the right way.
