You didn't say if you are an A4 or M6. Either way, looks good to me. I have a very similar setup with LTs, vararam and 3.42s on an A4 and ran a 12.62 at 112.73 with a 2.056 60' foot time yesterday. You did really well on that 60' with 3.73s. Getting under 12.5 is my goal and a 1.8 60' foot is the key. I've got only 4 runs under my belt so I'll get there.
