Default new best mph

Early last fall after the Fuddle 3400 converter went in I went 12.46@107.57 w/ a 1.74 6o ft which was my previous best . Last Sunday I went to the track for the first time since then and although I wasen't able to improve my ET or get the 60ft times I was running, I did manage a new MPH on my last run 12.58@108.16 w/1.80 60ft.
The weather was pretty similar to last time time, a slight bit warmer. I know this does not help without any baro. readings etc..but I don't have a weather station.

Car is an 01 wit a lid, LT headers, Fuddle 3400, and Nitto's.
Does this seem like decent ET & mph for my setup?

FYI...the DA varied from 980 and 1850 ft. at Byron on Sunday.

Sorry for the dealyed response, only been over a month right ? -lol
Yes the car has a tune in it from RWTD, I dynoed last fall after the track and my A/F ratio was a little rich so they leaned me out a bit this spring. I ran a new best at Byron last weekend (May21st) 12.450@108.31mph 1.742 60ft same exact 60ft as my previous best.
I'm thinking about having Speed Inc install a cam (Comp 224/224) and dyno tune the car.

dude you need a bigger stall.

look at my 60', my ET, and my trap. the stall alone got me .08 over you, despite your .07 advantage off the line.

i'm hoping that a tune and traction will get me into the 11s. i think that my trap would be up now after replacing the fuel filter...it was REALLY clogged. we will see, i had plans of hitting the track tonight, but it got cancelled due to approximately 45 raindrops..bah.

I would say that the mph is a bit low with longtubes and an ls6 intake but your DA would be different than mines. The highest I trapped was 111.7 with lid, loudmouth, stall and nittos.
