Nice! Right where I thought you would be.

It is awesome to see people progress and learn while they are at it.

So that is with the UCA in the Upper Position, and the LCA in the Upper of the 3 positions, correct?

yes!

UCA in upper position
LCA's in uppermost position
front struts set to +6 clicks
rear shocks set to +6 clicks
M/T ET streets set to 18psi (front stock pirelli's set to 36psi)
launch RPM varied between 5-5.5k (need to work on that)

I'm stoked to have knocked out a 12.x on my first trip down the 1/4 mile. Now to play with launch RPM, shock/strut settings, and tire pressure to get that down to a low 12... I had an 85 mile drive home from the track, so I couldn't exactly drive it like I stole it tonight :D

new best of 12.660 @ 107.25. Only change to car from previous best of 12.814 @ 106.36 at MIR was front struts set to full loose. DA was less than 200' for the first two runs shown below (crept up over 600' by noon)

third run I forgot to turn off traction control, fourth run I launched off the rev limiter, and last run I hit the rev limiter in 2nd gear...

I'm chipping away at it

look right above the rear fender flares. if you go to the races enough, i think you'll eventually have some. i would take a picture of mine but i don't think it would show in a pic
