What mph/rpm do you go thru the traps with what tires/gears?

With 26" tires I go thru the traps at 113.5 and run 11.52 bouncing off the rev limiter (6700) 100' before the traps!

ok but after playing with my calc @ 6700 he SHOULD be able to run it to 126...unless hes got 23 in tall tires? Maybe im missing something or maybe this is just a real world thing and not a calc...but im assuming if hes using biasplys thered be a growth factor involved that would mean he could run it past that 126 i stated? Eh I dunno.

tire size and convertor slipage is the issue you have to remember. i run 116-117 mph in the traps (probably 118 at the end of the track) yet only turning 6200 rpms because i run a 27.3" slick.
