Ok maybe it's me but I just can't seem to break into the 12's. I went to the track yesterday, and it's not the best one around here. The starting line sucks and everytime I hit second gear I spin like mad. Granted that it was only about 55 degrees out and cloudey so the track was cold, I could only muster a 13.22@108.39 with a 2.060 60ft. I was also told that there MPH are 2.00 high. Which would make sense since my best MPH is 106.I also tried launching at 3,000 and 4,000 RPM's and I spun most of first gear. I droped my Nitto's to 20psi which I would assumed helped me. I ran a 13.12 with 32psi in my tires on a 75 degree day launching at 3,000 and shifting at 6,700 RPM's. So is it me or what, with the mods I have I feel I should run at least a 12.90. Also the track I ran a 13.12, when I hit second it pounds like I have slick's on at the worst they might cherp. Sorry for rambling on i'am just upset with my car right now

Any suggestions on what suspension mods to start out with. Thanks.
