Need help.
Hi all, I am dissapointed in the vette, It seems that no matter what I do 12.8 is as good as it gets. The car stock ran several 12.85 on 2. short times. now it has a halltech CAI, offroad X, titanium exhaust, 2800 stall, 3.42 gears, tune. and drag radials. 305-35-18 MT's. tonight it ran a best of 12.84 on a 2.0 short time. it just will not break the 12.8 mark.
The DA tonight was at 1700 which is not bad for this time of year. it spun very little on the line, and hardly at all when it hit 2nd. what the heck am I doing wrong? A friend says Headers are the answer. I am open to sugestions. I use to be a ford guy, had an 03 cobra that ran 10.8 with the eaton still on it and automatic. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

your 60 ft is killing you. whats your tire pressure, launch rpms, have a line lock and doing good burnout? had 295x35x18 bfg's dr's for awhile and ran tire pressure at 26lbs and would hookem up no sweat after a decent burnout launching around 1800rpm results low to mid 1.80 sixty ft and low 12's with close to your mods but with lt headers. also air up front tires to 40 lbs
