Got me a built rear end and threw some 4.30s in too. Pick up a set of wheels and tires too, 275 Nitto DRs. Not super happy with the times...needs work:

13.450 @ 104.31 with a 1.9 60'

Before the DRs and gears I ran a 13.6 @ 105 with a 2.1 60'...The plan is to heat up the tires a lot more and launch a lot harder when I go back out on the 5th. I want 12s DAMMIT! Any feedback/suggestions/comments?

Oh and don't worry, the black GT next to me ran a 13.9 @ 100

Jake, what kind of tire pressure were you running? Sounds like you were still breaking the tires loose....
 
If you do not plan to add more power then you need to work on the launch and rowing gears. Get rid of the Nitto's they suck, much less the 275's. Get some real slicks or good DR's. With a good tire you should be going 1.6-1.7 short times.

Keep at it, you will get there.

Kev, I was running about 22 psi I think.

Joe, I got a really good deal on the wheels and tires and I didn't want to pass them up, but I plan to switch to something new after winter, probably some M/Ts, maybe a 315 if I can find a wheel for it. I'm going back on the 5th, and planning on heating them up more and launching harder...we'll see what happens!
