Made it into the 12's today at Cayuga.
The Mach1 and me finely broke into the 12's today at Cayuga during T&T. Ran a 12.976@104.81 60ft time was 1.769.
Felt good and I am glad I am there now. Need to stay consistant though. Always something to improve. lol.

Thanks guys. X pipe going on in a few weeks and hopefully a fixed Xcalibrator2 (as it does not work on my Mach 1 for some reason) will keep me there. 
Ryan, I agree it is about time for me. lol All I hear at Cayuga is " oh, you run low 13's, yes, I have a friend with a Mach and he runs 12. You mean ryan, you know him, nope just from the message boards. lol Your a Mach 1 legend at Cayuga. At least now I can say I am in the 12's also. 
Forget that as they will say "did you know he ran a 12.60 lol. I am just kidding around wioth you, I think it is great that you have the talent and the power to get er going. Keep at it and bash some of those stock 12,60 machs on the regisrty. lol

I did not want to change tires, rip headlights out, fill up with 105 octane race fuel. That is all okay if you want the fastest your car can go I just wanted a 12 second car street or strip.
Sorry for the cliche but I did it my way, I listened to a lot of people that said oh just put slicks on it, Nittos are no good, tear the insides out and take the spare out, run race fuel. I just kept at it and I love my Nittos that are on the car. I raced it with all in it, spare tire, jack, back seat and I got there. My race weight with me and car is 3550 with a 1/4 tank fuel. I also listened to the right people whom told me do not power shift all the time, do not ram the gears, follow the same procedure for your start line. Lots more other helpful hints. I am glad I listened
I even have offers for more help and advice and I will take it. The racer crowd on the OSCA weekends at Cayuga are second to none.You will get there, just gotta get out more often and get use to your car and listen to their advice. Good luck.
