I'm no expert on drag racing but those trap speeds seem really low for the times that you're running IMO. Even looking at the guy's time that was next to you, 9.77@ 133 just doesn't seem right. I know another guy who was cutting 1.5 60' and was only hitting 9.76 @ 142mph. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, and anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a hard time believing that two cars can run the same E.T. with similar 60' but one is trapping 9mph slower than the other. It just seems like something's off there.

113mph is definitely a good trap speed, but it seems strange for the mods you have. i have the basic bolt ons, and i'm trapping 114-115mph. it's taking me 25psi to do it.

Nah, his trap speeds are pretty fast for that time. He has a lot of room for lower et's. I went 11.9@114. It's all about getting a good launch and hitting all the shifts perfect. I think I could possibly squeeze out an 11.7, but I'm afraid to put more abuse on the stock clutch. Gotta wait till the twin disc.

His trap speeds are about right. I did 12.0 @ 113 at Norwalk a few years back.

OK thanks for the correction guys. It just seems like I see much higher trap speeds at my local track for similar times. Maybe I need come out to your tracks

If you managed a 12.3 with an exhaust and intake then I think I need to learn how to drive =/

Thanks guys for everything. I will let you know when I find out if there is anything else that's done to the car as far as internals or a tune. I know the hood was takin off at one time if that means anything I don't know. But like a said the only thing that's done to it is tbe,intake,02 housing,and a fuel pump.
