If one has ART or LTH's, a good CBE, CAI and tune I don't know why we don't see more 12.5's or 12.7 times without using rear gears.

The only thing I can think of is that even with my ART pipes and the F.I. exhaust I can pretty easily spin in 2nd without getting on it real hard.. so I can imagine on a slick track with high temps it wouldn't work... but as said, not everyone posts their times either.
If your running a good rear tire, you won't spin second gear. Esp from a second gear roll. This brings up a good subject as to most people on here run garbage tires witch will only net you chitty time at the track. It really irritates me to see such a " drivers car" with junk tires. RE-11's ftw.

Oh I agree that people on here don't spend money on the best tires that would net them better times. I can spin through second, but i'm still on totally stock tires with PLENTY of tread and they're a 140 rated tire, so i'd figure they'd be pretty sticky down the track.
