Those times are still really amazing for his setup! However I did get in the 12's stock one night when the car sat until close to closing and was like at 120* at the line and this was on GCS's. With slicks, gears and skinnies and launch at 4500 and powershift I bet you could get a stick in the low 12.'s stock If ya hooked!

I did back it up with several 12.3x runs & with that set up ran consistent 12.4x on many days in "Normal" weather
I have run 110 mph many times even at the Div 1 finals in DE. back in Sept. I find with an LT1 it runs best at app 150 deg.. also the oil temp should be over 140 & the transmission temp 120 or higher..
