Nice run...even though you dropped pressures, your 12.3 still counts as your best time...its still bone stock no matter what the tire pressure.

Just guessing i would say it is not a Z. Z 51 that is. Also do us have the performance gears. Nice run thought.

Nice runs!! My best is 12.6 @114 It is a MN6/LS2 though, it's a bit tricky to get a good launch..the A6's are FAST and consistent.
