Default finally in the 12s....but MPH still sucks

went to the track again this weekend and pulled my first 12sec time so i am happy about that...but my MPH is still way low.. it never changes either if i am running 13.2 to 12.8 i am still getting only 102-103mph..

60ft: 1.69
1/8: 8.1
1/4: 12.88
MPH: 103

shouldnt i atleast be seeing 105-107mph with that ET even with a A4?
mods are in sig...

just looking at this what is your 1/8th mph? Some tracks use a different means of figureing out your 1/4 speed fyi and your 60's are awsome for your mods...I was only cutting low 1.8's when i ran the 12.7 fwiw

You have to be running faster than 66 in the 1/8th. A 37 mph gain at the top is way to much for your times and speeds. Somethings not adding up.

Man I know the feeling, my runs were similar, with similar mods.

60 ft- 1.81
330ft- 5.25
1/8th- 8.18
mph- 84.977
1/4- 12.87
mph- 103.9


thats on motor, with 3.42's and without the cutout.

I just got a fuel pump, and injectors. I dont thin im getting enough fuel, becuase its now pulling oin the big end like it should. If you figure anything out about this pm me. I am gonna get it tuned with edit here shortly

hmmm ok i have a question... my best time so far is;

60 2.096
1/8 8.288
1/4 12.637
1/4 spd 114.17

i believe my 1/8 spd was around 89... now i have noticed this on an LT1 it ran a faster 1/8 time but slower 1/4 time then me...now given my 60' what is the IDEAL 60' time i should be running?
