ok from your traps the car should go low 12's.just for comparison i ran 12.4 @110 and 12.5 @111 mph.Both passes was 1.7 to 1.6 60ft, i am sure your 60ft was bad that resulted in this.post up your time slip so we can see more details.Oh also i am making 355whp and 349 tq just to let you know as well.

With that trap speed, your car should see low 12s. What was your 60ft? My EVO 9 has 3 bolt ons and I went 12.11@111mph.

-Full Turbo back exhaust
-AMS Lower intercooler pipe
-JMF 3" Intake

I got the car tuned from Devin @ Boostin Performance on virtual dyno the car made 338WHP/323TQ on 23 PSI on 93 octane. My ACD pump is bad and last week got a new one. When I went to the track it was 50 degrees with a 20mph headwind. I plan to go back in a couple weeks with the same mods and I think the car can go 11s.

Just wanted to share my results for comparison to yours. I think your car can see bottom 12s What's your mod list?

There was an Evo 8 that ran a 12.05 and trapped at 116, so I was disappointed, my 60 ft for that run was 1.83, on another run I even trapped higher at 112.19, I will post the slips after work

I would bring those street tires down to 20PSI. 41PSI is WAY up there, but still came out pretty good for that much air in the tires. Work on your shifting a little bit, and your car will be a consistent 12 second car!
