finally got my 12!

Finally got my 12 second pass!! I tried to make a photo tonight but something screwed up either with my camera or my computer, sorry no proof. Here's the slip..
60-1.94
330-5.451
1/8-8.355
85.21
1000-10.860
1/4-12.981
mph-106.50

I was a little upset the first pass with a 13.04! I think I spun the tires, it was so hard to tell with the 11 second firebird in the other lane! I'm still unhappy with the 60ft times, hopefully I can do better. I plan on investing in a line lock, I have a hard time heating up the Nitto's. The temp was 5 degrees cooler than the last time I raced, plus I had a JLP tune which made almost 30 more horsepower than the predator pulley tune, so adjusting was a little difficult. Hoping for a 12.90 with properly heated tires!
Thanks for everybodies input,on past post's!! Yeah Rob02, I finally took your advice and got a professional tune!!
Sincerely,
Bryan

Thanks,
4lb pulley
C&L inlet pipe and cold air
C&L 95 mm maf (wouldn't recommend!)
Predator custom tune by JLP
Flowmaster cat back (like the sound, but not much performance)
Nitto d/r's
JLP traction bars
JLP valve body

Somebody else in the truck, probably mid 12's!

Cool. Your making the power to go deeper. I'd say a 12.6-12.7ish is possible. Get that line lock and heat those puppies up. Then bolt off the line like your a druged up 7-eleven robber who just hit the door!
