121 trap speed is excellent. What tires are you using? If you're trying to do well on street tires, I'll give some advice, give up now. Get some drag radials or slicks and you'll be much more satisfied.

I started with street tires on my supercharged Challenger. Best I could ever do was 12.82 at 119-120. Went to a M&H drag radial and instantly went 12.0 at 121 and eventually learned to shift better and got down to 11.53 at 124.

Slapped slicks and skinnies on the Challenger Saturday for the first time. 11.19 at 126. Makes it the 2nd fastest 6 speed Challenger in the world at this point. First is a 10.95...notice I said 6 speed. The auto guys are well in to the 9s and some 8s.

60 foot was 1.65 and it's a 4300 pound car. That Z will take off like a rocket with traction.

P.S. if you guys would rather me not post info about this Challenger on here just lemme know, but figured some of the same principles I learned with it will help you with the Z.
