Default What should my MPH be?

I was under the impression that my 116.5mph (best mph, no spin at all, actually bogged) was pretty good... although Ive never really bothered asking what my MPH should actually be given the power my car makes.

Last dyno was 399rwhp/398rwtq, mods listed below. My race weight is somewhere around 3750, 6spd car.

Am I where Im supposed to be roughly?

Sounds great, nice dyno numbers by the way. I have a similar set up, but only had it to the track 1 time last year in less than optimal conditions. I hope to improve my ET and trap with the cooler temps and a decent 60' time.

at that weight that is about right. the harder you can leave the better the mph. where are you shifting? that makes a big differnce as well as how quick you are.

Mine was trapping 115-116 at approx. the same weight and with the same mods.

Thanks for the responses guys.. appreciate it.

gators.. I have my rev limit set at 6700 and my light is set at 6400. Im guessing the actual shift is somewhere around 6500-6600 or so... but not hitting the limiter at all.
