Well it seems to be a solid start, but there are other factors like 60' and speed. For example, I did 12.85 at 107 with a 2.06 60', 8.35 1/8 mile at 86.43 mph. But I also did a 13.25 at 106.8 with a 2.33 60', 8.76 1/8 mile at 86.67 mph.

A good launch should get you into 12s at least.

With those numbers, I was running my Injen DCI, DPs, FMIC and JB4 + meth. But the meth kit wasn't flowing, so I only hit like ~14.5 psi, so effectively Map 2.

I am going back to the drag strip tomorrow with my new Cobb Stage 2+FMIC. I'm running Sport, and for daily driving it feels much stronger, but I will be mixing with 100 octane and running Aggressive at the strip.

You'll want to get dps before or with meth. There are alternative options for downpipes if you don't want to spend a lot. Meth requires a little more attention, you'll be doing a lot of logging to make sure everything is working right. I am under warranty, but I don't really let that be my deciding factor. I switched to Cobb for multiple reasons, not excluding the benefit of removing all the extra hardware.

A little off topic, but I didn't make it out today. Got a misfire on cyl 5 on the way up there. I'm actually glad it revealed itself during moderate acceleration. I already have spark plugs, I just need the tools to swap them and hopefully it fixes my issues. I hope it's not the packs.
