In the mean time, I'm not going to spend the money to go run it because I know I would still be turning 13's. :-(
I ran twice last Friday, 7AT with the full set of bolt-on power adders, but no track prep (as in no weight removed from the car, even my giant bag of tools, and normal street tire pressures). Both runs were in the 13.4's. I was also unfamiliar with the track and a bit nervous, and short on time.

I think my launches were subpar, and my shifts were a little late just due to me being distracted by the whole experience for the first time. I'm planning to go back soon on a night where I can get the car prepped and get several runs in to learn the launch, and I expect the time to drop significantly. We'll see how it goes. I can't say for sure that 12's are possible, but they certainly seem within reach.
