That's a great 60' with that tight converter. Yes I agree the mph does seem low to me also. Could be your ET streets growing and bringing down your mph. I'll bet if you went to the MT DR you'd gain about 2-4 mph.
On the same day on back to back runs I lost 4 mph going from a DR to a slick.
With a tire change all things being equal I think you'd be looking at 12.50's-mid 12.40's at close to 110 mph.
Just my opinion but with a full weight car and those couple of mods in your sig, I am liking your set up man! Nice work.

looking at my times, 12.5was 107 and 12.6s were in the 105 range....and that was lightweight with 4.11s in a 12bolt on ET Streets with mid 1.6s.

I just checked my drag specs, that MPH is good for that ET.

Sounds like you did a good job.

That is the Bristol elevation, choking the motor on top end. I ran a 12.70@106
