Hey Davey J.. if I'm cutting 1.57 60's and running 7.60 in the 1/8th why am I running 12.0s @ 112 in the 1/4 with my A4 formula hardtop with 3.73s and 3,600 vig?

because your traps are only 112 what do you expect for 112 mph.If you had 115 like the other guy you would get 11.78

One thing if you're running a good 60ft 1/8th but are low on mph at the finish line you might be past your ideal rev range, maybe too much gear or converter slip.
