I was hoping for 11's. I hit the rev limiter on my best 2 passes in 2nd gear. I have no idea how much that cost me. If it was just a little cooler I maybe had a chance at 11's.

So you went 12.7's before the STS, and 12.4's with it? Only three tenths from a Turbo? What am I missing?
Nice times none the less. That's hauling ***. Congrats!

My bad it was 114 not 112. The big difference on this day from the 12.7 run was weather. Temp was more the 30 degrees warmer and we went from a Negative DA to a postive 1500 feet. I couldn't get my 60's down. On the 12.7 I was able to get 1.8's. Best this time was 1.9.

). None the less, that thing is really moving! I'm sure 11's are right around the corner. It seems as tho the power is definately there.
