It should have run a lot better.
I agree my 12:20 best in the car was dissapointing, I am not blaming it on the power the car made, I blame it on me not being able to launch the car correctly at the track. I was running drag radials and after smoking the clutch on the 12:20 pass I was hesitant there after to launch it hard fearing what would break next another clutch or axles. Could it have run an 11 maybe with the right driver and no fear of breaking things..

If you do a little research you will find most cammed combinations LS3 5th gens are running low 12s. A few have gone into the 11s though, the ones who are for the most part are automatic cars.

On the street wearing street tires I think this Challenger takes my Camaro, while my Camaro would be spinning the Challenger would be gone.
