It was all stock including the tires (28psi). I hadn't been on a strip in 6 years and like you, new to the car. I just scrubbed the tires to clean them and used launch control without no-lift-shift and shifted just as the shift bars hit the HUD and did 12.5 @ 116 MPH on my third attempt. Cooled the car ~20 minutes between passes.

The second time I went it was much hotter and humid and I tried launching in PTM5 without launch control but using no-lift-shift. After three passes I stopped because the best was 12.8 @ 111 MPH. The MPH told me I wouldn't run fast that day so why beat on it.

Both outings I had several passes over 13 sec but the MPH was there. All on me but as the experienced guys here say, it's all about getting seat time. "Don't be embarrassed".

I'm waiting for a good DA day this fall to try for a faster all stock time. Then she gets mods in the spring.
