well for starters I see "not tuned, 680s, & walbro in your sig. That might have a little to do with it.

other then that like you said your 1-2 shift is pretty slow according to your 330'

With good driving a 109 trap can get you low 12's. Last year I did 12.34@108. Thats with a 1.68 '60 and some very fast shifting!

I cant believe you are running those mods with cams and your not tuned. Good way to blow up a motor!

You really need a tune for all those mods, I honestly don't know what you are waiting for. Are you afraid you'll lose your warranty, LOL. Seriously a tune should be the first thing on your to do list.

12.30 @ 107.99 here, so your 109 is capable of much more. I did that on a 1.72 60', so your 1.81 60' should not give you a 13.0. That means you were shifting like my grandma.

speedytl, he's not going to suddenly trap 115-120 after a flash. Be real...

With his mods he should be right around 114-115, maybe not 120 though .

warrtalon do you mean 115 with or without the flash.right now with no flash i think i could hit 112.i just need to improve shifting.i just dont want to risk running it not tuned much longer.

109mph untuned with 680's !!! Wow. Surprise your not hitting fuel cut.

I don't think you'll hit 112 untuned even with better shifting.
After a good Flash, then you will.
Shifitng faster usually lowers e.t.'s and a slight gain in traps.

I shift slow also ( 5.2-5.3 in the 330 ') 12.74 @ 109.11 sans 20g and FM at 21 psi.

Were you able to duplicate your 109 trap ?
