previous best to date was @ MIR: 12.425 @ 108.93, w/1.67 60' (DA was approx +188 ft). Car weighed in at 3660 with driver and gear (1/2 tank of gas, gutted trunk, full interior). Strange struts/shocks set to full loose up front and +4 clicks out back, rear tires set to 18psi. UCA in upper hole on UCA mount and LCA's in uppermost hole on BMR relocation brackets.
The air was amazing at MIR tonight, the DA for my last run was approx -1500 ft
For this round of testing the car weighed in at 3680 with driver and gear (1/2 tank of gas, gutted trunk, full interior and misc gear that I didn't leave unattended like at previous track rental). Front struts set to full loose, and rear shocks set to +3, rear tires set to 18psi. UCA in upper hole on UCA mount, and LCA's in middle hole on BMR relocation brackets.
My two best runs were:
12.496 @ 107.93 w/1.657 60'
12.479 @ 108.18 w/1.652 60'
I'm disappointed that my car didn't do better with the killer DA. While my 60' dropped from a 1.67 to a 1.65, I was hoping for much more... GoPro vids showed slight lift of the front wheel on most runs, no dice on the right wheel
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with 12.4's (302 rwhp, full interior, OEM cats/emissions tune in place), but we all want a little more right?
I think I'm done for the year. Winter plans include weight reduction, and some skinny front wheels/tires. I was considering Viking double adj shocks, but I might have reached the limit on 60' with my power/weight level. I can probably squeeze a bit more out of it with my Strange single adj shocks.

I'll work on that next spring!
