Default In the 12s but look at this MPH

Went to MIR a few weeks ago and made 3 passes and ran a best of 13.0 @ 110 with a 2.1 60ft. Went back a week later and ran this.

R/T: .055
60ft: 2.055
330ft: 5.653
1/8th: 8.471 @ 88mph
1000ft:10.867
1/4: 12.886 @ 111.92

I ran 3 12.8 second passes. Best ET was 12.829 @ low 111 or high 110 I cant remember. Mods are in sig. Race Weight with me in the car was 3705. I cant complain with those 1/8 and 1/4 MPH. I am happy with the times too as Ive never been in the 12s before.

I should note that the DA was -1700 . Week before it was around 200 and my trap was like 110.03. So I picked up .2 tenths and almost 2mph. MPH still seems high for my mods.

I bet you could squeeze a 12.7 possibly 12.6 out of it.

It can definately go faster. Mine went 12.54 @ 109.97 1.8 60. Just go get some decent tires and launch it hard if u got a 9"

Yeah I know the mph "can" be reflective of a mid 12 second pass on some stickier tires. I was just kinda surprised it was that high with such a heavy car.

Traps look about average to me. Shift points and shift speed are crucial for trap.

I was trapping almost 117 mph in similar air (normally between 113-115) in my full weight bolt-on SS. Maybe you should be trapping a little higher.
