you won't hit 12's unless you get better tires. or make a lot more power.

like said, your mph is pretty good. now it's time to work on the 60'. and to do that, you probably need tires

A 2.1 60ft isn't bad at all for street tires but if you're looking to dip into the 12's as mentioned you're definately going to need some slicks or at least DR's. On street tires and my M62 I managed a nearly identical run to yous with a best of 13.4@112mph with a 2.0 60ft.

2.1 60ft is so-so. He probably blew 2nd gear up which killed his time. And controlling 2nd gear is a bit harder. Most of the time you either bog it, spin uncontrollably, or shift way to slow. Best bet is to pick up some better tires.

You're on your stock 18's right? Do you plan to keep using those stock 18's?

well, you could pick up some 215/35/18 BFG KDW2's off tire rack for about 130/tire right now. While that's not that meaty of a tire, they are pretty damn good for traction for a street tire, and that's a decent price.
