Default top end speed way down ???

I'm assuming the 4500 da had something to do with the 102 mph top end speed, but for what this car 60' s, I would think it should pull better. my best 60' last saturday night was 1.608 and it went 12.68 at 104. should I be blocking off the front intake air dam on my ss hood air box? does this compute??

Went to the Semis. I went -.002. I just took to much blub and added a 1/4 pound of air in the fronts before the semis. I was .034 on the tree the run before and wanted tighten up on the tree. I hate it when I think my way out of a race.

I did however move up from 8th in the points to 4th.

You?
