Looking For EASY 12's...

**N20LT4** · 06-24-2007, 12:36 PM

I'm looking for Easy 12's for not for my F-Body-- I already know how to get that

, but instead for my '96 LT4 C4 coupe. The cars a M6 (of course), and completely stock. My best so far has been 13.2@108 with nothing but a removed air-filter and tire-pres. adjustments. I talked to the guys here in my city called Corvettes Unlimited, in which they said 12's are just Drag Radials, along with one of them behind the wheel - away. I just wanted some suggestions on what to do. I have a pair of Long Tube Headers from Exotic Muscle sitting in the box that will be going in soon. I know it won't take much.

those headers with the rest of the exhaust re-done a bit along with DRs will put you in the 12s

i bet you can hit 12s as-is though. whats your 60' time on that 13.2?

2.192 on the 13.2 run.

what tires are you running right now? if you can get that 60' time in the sub 2's (which just takes practice and heating the tires)...there's your 12 sec run

I concur. You should be knocking on the door to the 12's if you can get the 60' time down below 2.0. Drag radials, the headers and a quality catback exhaust should get you there pretty easily!

BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KD's, 275/40ZR17's front and 315/35ZR17's. The tires do get pretty squirly at the track, and I do burn them out, slightly though, during every pass. For a bone-stock car this car's got some balls, and it is really difficult to control it in the lower-midrange. And yes, 108mph trap speed is good enough for 12's, on paper at least.
