Default 400RWHP 6spds, what are you trapping?

In the 1/8 and in the 1/4 what are your trap speeds on drag radials or slicks.

Thanks

My car is a full weight T/A with 12 bolt and it runs 115 in the heat and a best before 12 bolt of 119.39 with -1500 da.
I made 400.3hp/388 tq on the 30th at Thunder raceing. The race weight at the thunder shoot out last year was 3682 and now I have added a 12 bolt.

117.6mph last year with ET streets and 120lbs more on the car at 2700ft density altitude.

I trapped 115.5mph at 5700ft density altitude this past August, so I'm about 2mph ahead of last year (according to correction factors), and hope for a 119mph pass in similar weather as my best mph.

Thanks so far guys, I'm trying to figure out whats up with my car, it made 402/378 with a 222/226 563/569 112lsa comp cam. I'm only trapping 91 in the 1/8 as compared with my stock cam I was trapping 90. Keep the replies coming.
Thanks

Your car is heavy, I dont know how big you are but even at 125lbs it is 3700lbs. Also to get good mph you have to turn the engine hard. drive it like you stole it,even with my little hammer cam I shift at 6600 rpm's with a shift light . If you are going off the stock tach , it is not acurate if you have gears (i.e 4.10's). The tach cant keep up with the engine. It will rev faster than the tach in first and second and catch up some what in 3rd and 4th. Also , slicks or bias ply tires will make less than drag radials.

Last trips to the track I ran 11.905 @ 118.43 @ 3705 lbs and a different track ran 7.50 @ 95.0? ... Both of 'em spinning the ET streets w/ too much pressure in 'em The car made 408 RWHP, 375 lb.ft. at that time.
