Also, I have to granny shift the shit out of the car. That alone is worth a couple of tenths. Finally, I've had the car out a total of maybe five times drag racing. With the exception of the first time I took it to Cal speedway the car has improved on E.T. or MPH every time.
Right now it stands 12.3 @120 with a 2.19 60' on 19" Michellene PS2. No NOS No Blower!

DRs won't really make up any MPH. They make all their difference in the 60', that is the time it takes for initial acceleration. My MPH on DRs and Street tires is virtually identical. Your car is possibly a high 10 car on DRs at a great track and a ringer run. But you should be able to pull off mid 11s all day long at a good track on DRs. If you want to see just how different your mph/et can be because of temp and altitude, I'll probably be going to Irwindale a week from this Thursday night.
