Well, I finally made it out to the strip friday night. Best time was a 13.5 @ 103. I was using bfg drag radials but only had a best of 2.1 60', with 2.2 being the avarage, seems like they wouldn't hook, time for some actual slicks. Also, HOM was kicking out in 4th, so if I could get it to stay on it might be a lil better to. I was fairly pleased though, mods are S2 w/t, 3" 02 housing, HP 3" exhaust, dogbones.

Not trying to flame you man, but a stage 2 car w/ dog bones and drag radials should be a lot faster than 13.5 @ 103. Check for boost leaks and get back to me. You should have a low to mid 12 second car. Did you powershift? BTW, if this was your first time racing anywhere at all, then dont freak out. I only got 14.3s out of my stock srt first time out (w/o powershifting). Practice makes perfect.

im thinking he meant mid to low 13s, but dont worry about your time. it just takes practice, i run 13.2s and 13.3s off of hom occasionally, but a lot more 13.5s and 13.6s. shit happens.
i recommend getting the launch down on the tires you already have so that you actually learn how to launch them. also, get a local opnion and help with your hom kicking out.
lower them to 12psi and launch at 3200 rpm make sure to load the axles (let the clutch out until it just grabs) with stg 1 19psi i consistently run 12.80-13.00 w abest 60ft of 1.92 at 109.9 thats stg1
Whoops didnt mean to put mid to lo 12s... im a retard. should mid/lo 13s (which you're about there). Hope i didnt make you think your car blows cause apparently it doesnt. Good luck bro
