OK going to track with new mods....Whats gonna happen

I would guess the temp will be around 65 degrees and I have half worn out F1's. Tell me I have a chance to hit 12's. I have had trouble hooking up at this track before when I was stock so whats gonna happen now that my truck is a smokeshow ****? I want some time predictions!!! Stock I ran a 13.92 @ 99. The truck feels MUCH stronger.

Uh... You'll spin more ?
Your ET will not improve much but your MPH will go up ???



Practice launching... Get your 60 foots down to 1.9 or less and you'll get decent times.
I managed a 1.85 60 foot on 1/2 worn F1's with 40 lbs of air in them at Norwalk for FFW. The 40 lbs of air was cause I was in middle of 3000 mile highway trip and had heavy load in back - Forgot to air them down.. ( PS The track at FFW was hooking )

Question

detail,

What track do you go to? You should hit 12s IF you can hook. If not, I would guess low 13s. Get some sticky tires and you will see some 12.7s - 12.8s in good air.

I go to the Tulsa international raceway. It's closer than centerville and a full 1/4 mile. Where are you from in AR?

I would say if you can get a 2.000 or better 60' time then you could see 12.9-13.1 I have almost the exact same mods and (depending on the aggresiveness of the tune you have from REM) and I ran a 8.4xx in the 1/8th consistently the past 2 times at the track is 80* + heat. That should translate to a 13.1 1/4 mile time.
