Is my trap speed low for bolt ons? I have a bolt-ons 2000 SS a4 that I have been 1/8 mile bracket racing, and took it out for the first time 1/4 mile with it and I feel like it should trap a higher mph, maybe not, just looking for opinions.
Mods go;
fast 90/90
pacesetter longtubes
hooker blackheart true duals
85mm maf
FTI 4000 hard hit
S60 4.10's
hoosier QTP 27x11.50 bias ply
viking coilovers double adjustable front and rear
mwc k member, a arms, tunnel mount arm, lca, panhard, bumper support, trans crossmember
weld rts wheels
abs and tcs deletes
battery relocation
a few weight reduction mods
its still got AC and the majority of the interior aside from the rear seats and some weight reduction stuff but is stock appearing.
The short game is pretty solid, it has run a best of 7.42 @ 91 mph with a 1.52 60ft
but I took it out to a street legal drags and they didn't spray the track, and the air DA was about 1000ft higher than normal and it went 1.55 60ft, 7.51 1/8, and 11.89 @ 112.00 mph. I was expecting something like high 114 or low 115 or am I crazy???

I trap 110 running 11.90s with a similar setup as you except not as much weight reduction. I wouldn’t be upset over it. If anything, it shows how efficient your car is. Most cars need at least 115 mph to break into the 11s and you did it much more efficiently.

The car weighs 3240 without me in it, the DA was about 1500ft over normal for our track. It was around 2500ft. Normally we are right at 1000ft, on a killed night we will be 150ft below. I felt like it was low, but if that's standard I won't complain
