Any opinions on this run: 12.29 @ 125.24

this is the full pass:
60' 2.197
330 5.645
1/8 8.236
MPH 94.27
1000 10.467
1/4 12.292
MPH 125.24

i know the car is making the power to go mid to low 11's, i know my launch sucks, what i wanna know is the part in between, is my shifting good? if i get a good launch could i crack the 11's? what do guys think?
thanks for any input .
btw, this the only good run i had the whole day, lots of mustangs broke with oil all over the track and one them rolled, bad crash but the guy was ok.

ya your definatly making good power. 8.2 at 94 in the 1/8th. with a 1.7 or better short time your in the low 11's for sure. I run 7.8's at 88-89 mph. and run 12.1x and 12.2x all the time at 114. so that should tell ya how much power you have

dang.. 125mph is good for mid 11's. just need to practice your launchin. A 1.6-1.7 60 ft would get you there no problem. quick shifts really help too, but you main focus is your launch.

big turbos are a ***** to launch, i used to get 1.7 all day long with the stock turbo when i got the hang of it, but i can feel the gt35 can have a scary launch , if i can get it right.

Shifting seems like it was fine just need a better launch. As a rule of thumb every tenth you drop off your 60' you will drop 2 tenths off your 1/4 mile time.

your MPH is definitely great... Curt Brown ran a 10.xx @ like 124-125 mph, so your car is making good power... Just need to work on that 60' time..

yeah, I said Mid 11's to be safe. Heck the new C6 Z06 traps about 125-127mph and runs 11.4-11.6's in the 1/4mile on the stock tires. So, be certain you can atleast run those kinda times with a decent 60ft.
