That is a new personal best, previous was 12.7@112. But as you can see by my launch there is a LONG way to go!
Will get some new tires and try again!

typically .1-.3 I know that's a pretty big range, but different people set their cars up to better respond to the weight change. Take your front sway bar off too. What is your rear gear ratio?
Get back out there and give'er hell! 11's are right there.

Removing the front sway is for weight transfer. It is hollow and doesn't weigh much at all. So you can just unhook the links and leave it in place.
A good drag radial will solve most of your traction issues - provided the track prep is there. Lots of auto trans guys use the 275/40/17 M/T drag radial. I've had success with he Toyo TQ in the same size. Hoosier makes the same size too, and they hook the best, but they're not really that good on the street.
