Default Will I run 12s?

Alright -- here is the plan when I get back from basic (I actually won't be leaving until march)...

Here is what I'm looking @ on top of everything else I've got:
Eaton Positrac
Wet Nitrous Kit (75-100 shot)
Nittos
180 stat
Cutouts

So, how is that looking? Will I hit twelves on this with good weather?

If track prep is good and you plan on spraying out of the hole, I don't see why not.
btw... what gears and stall do you have? That will come into play a bit.

3.42s rear and a 3000 TCI stall

I do have a question though.... when I get that Eaton, does it come with some gears in it, or how does that work exactly?

when you get an Eaton you are only replacing the stock G80 unit if you have one. there will be no ring and pinion gear coming with the Eaton

I have about the same setup as you and I ran a 13.5 @ 104 with absolutely no traction. I believe I can hit a 12 now. I just upgraded my tranny and put a stall converter in it. I think I can run a 12 if I can ever make it to the track.

Yeah, I do have some headers, custom tune vs handheld, cam, stepside (lighter), and transgo and stuff over your setup.

So hopefully I could even bust a 12.5!

That'ld be awesome to go beat a C5 vette.

if you are going to do a Wet shot... I would go with 125-150 with all your other mods.

some good traction with the tires and the Posi should get you 12's on a good day.
