I think lol lets put it this way sometimes I wonder if I look like that guy who doesn't know where the track ends lol. I had the ticket guy tell me I was letting out before the traps one time and started staying in it longer gain a little on my times but that was long time ago so I think I'm still in it going threw the traps. I'll stay in it just a little longer first time out this years TWO WEEKS just to be sure

I wasn't sure so I thought I should mention it.

Your mods are similar to mine and the mileage is close but you trap 4 mph less.

Mine has 133,000 miles.

Could be your track.

I trap higher at this one track thats in our area.

The one main difference I see is he has 4.10 gears. With your 3.42 gears you probably go through the traps under 5k rpm. I'm sure if you had 4.10's you would gain a couple mph.

My car was trapping 110 with the 10 bolt and 3.23's

I didn't gain much going to the 12 bolt and 3.73's my guess is the extra weight.

Ya I would think it would balance out even slow u down if u don't lose weight elsewhere or add power. But u can launch harder so should have a better 60' I would think and about same mph
