Well I've seen a few Evos with just exhaust and intake running 12s. That's what I had when I ran the 12.4. The only thing that really sucks is that once I finally go and put some real money into the car and I barely break into the 11s. Maybe it's the cooler weather up in Chicago.

i dont think its that easy to run 12's stock, my car is just outside of stock and i struggled to run a 12.9, i was there when petty ran the 12.2 and i think he could have gotten better.. his car is pretty fast....but thats just my .02 which isnt worth anything lol

Well with the wrong driver in the car it doesn't matter how much you spend on your car. If you cant drive than it means nothing to say you have a fast car. The weather in Chicago has nothing to do with it, it's cool here now. I'm not saying I'm the best driver, but I do know if my car isnt doing good, it's me. After all the car isn't going anywhere if I don't turn it on and mash on the gas, I tell it what to do.

But after some coaching (monkey telling me i'm not doing it right) and a few runs I managed to jump out of the 12s and into the 11s. Once this weather cools down enough and I make maybe a few adjustments I want to try for an 11.5. And yes Pat, the car is tuned on the safe side. Once I get the motor built we can totally change that though.
