Default New Best E.T. Yesterday...

I went to the track yesterday hoping to get a new best time and that I did. The new best (corrected for Sea Level from 5800' here in Denver) was:
60': 1.785
1/4: 12.12 @ 114.02

I am still running a Stock Converter and stock 3.07's with Nitto DR's. Should I be able to get a better 60' time with the stock converter or should I be happy with what I've got?

How much time should I be able to drop with a Vigilante 2800 and some 3.73's? I was really hoping to crack the 11.99 mark (12.99 here in Denver) before I changed that stuff out but it doesn't look like it's possible.

:cheers:

Man, that's a great ET. A 1.7x sixty foot time is great with stock converter and 3.07 gears! :cheers:
