The DA dropped, DA is everything.
Launch control is temperamental, I have no idea why it does what it does sometimes. It is not consistent, but when it works, it works.
Dropping the seat will give you what you need, as would a slight improvement in the 60 foot. Trust me, been there, and don't think Sacramento will give you what you need, I drove up. It's advantage is overstated as they don't prep like they do for a private event in Famoso. Plus, the DA was pretty freaking good.

Never ran it at Famoso with the RPI exhaust, the 12.1 was with tune and cat delete, no line lock and BFG's, hence 1.950 60 foot.
You would sooner hit 11's in Famoso by just pulling the passenger seat and running a lightweight battery just for the event. 63 pounds seat, 40 pounds battery, 40 pounds rear seats, you are there. Plus, improvement in 60 foot. You also seem to be a pretty light guy (no offense intended) so that will help. It is clearly possible and right there.

It was hot (summer) with no prep, but my traps were consistent 115.5-116.3. Times were nothing special in Sacto, 12.2's, never ran it at the strip again in that form as I went FI.

Thanks Bro, not sure what their best times were, but on street tires spinning quite a bit, I saw 12's at 119-122ish. I'm really surprised the 460+whp C63's were not trapping higher, they should be in the 120's as well.

It looks like a blast and something I plan to do (same mods) when I make the move to the E92M3 in the next few months

Not quite stock! I have all the bolt ons with the GIAC tune, but the muffler is still stock. 10's remain to be seen, I think it's doable, I went from 12.8 to 11.5 on my E46, so we shall see. Sticky will probably get there before me though, can't wait to see how his car does at Sac, the car flat out moves.
