Default APS Twin turbo Trans Am at 1/4 mile

This was at a local Musle car day where I live.
1 run was a 12.1 at 130 mph and the 2 run was a 11.7 at 132 mph, 60 ft where around 2.2 and 2.1. This was on bfg g-force T/A KD tires.

Good looking car and 132 is a good mph! What's the rest of the combo consist of? Man! not a whole lot of people in that track, either.

Doesn't look like an NHRA track, lol. Do you know if this track just gives you your end mph, or average of last 33ft. like NHRA tracks do?

Thanks. The motor is a stock 98 ls1 with ls6 intake, 918 comp springs and ARP rod bolts. Custom made y pipe (2x3" into 4" merge than 4" cutout that opens up at 3 psi and is fully open at 7 psi) and the exhaust is SLP dual dual. But I´m building a forged 7.0L this winter to put in this car, so he should move quite well after that
The reason why so few cars out on the track in the video is that it was in the end of the day on the track and it was a huge festival in Reykjavik exactly on this day

yes I know but it is very hard to put the power down when the track is just prep to the 60ft mark and on cold 55-60°F day on radials.
