What next?
 
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.

You can't hook Nitto's on 20 psi. They need to be 16-17 psi and heat them for 8-10 seconds at about 5000 rpm.

You've got the mph to run 12's. Get the car to leave.
