this is weird... my previous best time with my car (02 Z) with full exhaust/intake/tune BALD tires was 12.56 @114 with a 2.1 60'
Now with the new invo rears i managed a 1.88 60' (still spinning a little) but only hit 12.50 @113.....What gives??? granted it was pretty warm outside (florida) with bad track prep

How about this raw data to really screw you up....These 3 passes were back to back to back on the same night.
(All runs were bone stock with a tune and drag radials only... 1999 FRC)
pass 1
60.....1.895
1/4....12.682
MPH...110.50
pass 2
60.....1.877
1/4....12.657
MPH...110.71
pass 3
60.....2.039
1/4....12.640
MPH...111.47
A .162 worse sixty foot yielded a .017 better E/T in the same D/A. Sometimes the car just don't make any sense!

heat makes a big difference. I just took my 03Z to the track (stock) and went 12.75 @ 111 on a 2.0 60'. After cooling the car down and making another pass on a similar 2.0 60' i went 12.5 @ 115. Try going back on a cool night you'll be suprised at how much of a difference it makes
