New Trap Speed and Crappy it is Well about a week and a half ago, I went to the Drag Strip and ran a 12.0 @ 120.973 mph. I did burn out down the track past the 330ft mark.
I had a 2.02 60ft and was on Nitto Drags.
I ran a 11.8 @ 118.8 MPH with a 1.8 60 ft with just stock Manifolds, Stock Cam and a 125 HP shot. I would still think that the MPH should be a lot faster now that I'm running a lot more bolt-ons.
Am I being to hard on myself? Did the Traction cause that much loss in MPH and Time?

keep in mind summer air is always worth a few tenths over cooler fall/winter air. The 120 mph trap speed COMPLETELY hooked up would be worth an easy low 11 second pass. Usually traction loss means more to the et suffering than mph, but both will always suffer when you don't have full traction.
