For reference, ran a best of 12.79 @ 110 with a iirc 2.03 60 ft for the weekend. And this was in bad air too as it was low 90s and humid.

Tire pressure also plays a big role. I'm sure Jeremy can give you input also. I think I'm running 47lb in the fronts and about 35 in the rears.
Light? You've got 150 pounds on me - with me & gas in the car it was 3845! I'm certain the car can do 12's but I need to get better!

Tire pressure may be part of it - I was running 21 lbs in the rears - need to try it with them bumped up.
