I didn't are you were at altitude. I would say at 400whp VDR if it holds to the top uncorrected you should trap 120. My car with a stock setup fell down to 300 or so but parked at 365. Since at the track you are above 5500 practically the entire time that PA what determines trap speed. Mine made average 325or so and did 112. Now that it holds 400 up top I expect 120 traps.

Here's the power graph from DLL w/ that run...to put it into comparison I found the numbers are similar to uncorrected mustang dynos in the area. His power looks around the same as another car I tuned which ran 11.7@124 in Sacramento(sea level) but his trap speed at this elevation look similar to a basic bolt on evo9 (310 atw) I'm really stumped at his car lol seems to run exactly the same regardless of power ..maybe the blow off valve is opening at 25 psi?

Before you get mad please let me explain.

If you shift fast enough while keeping the pedal to the floor, NLTS is NOT NEEDED and is probly slowing you down.

It is most definitely faster to shift the car WITHOUT NLTS.

NLTS is for people that CANNOT power shift fast enough.

If an upshift is completed properly and with great speed then NLTS is simply not needed. You should be able to catch the motor with the clutch before it hits the rev limiter.

1. keep pedal on the floor for the whole pass.

2. kick clutch grab next gear till race over.

I know you are probly doubting me but it is true.
All of that ^Keep in mind that powershifting takes a lot of force, Way more force than you would think is good for your transmission. Drag racing is not good for your transmission.
What are your 60 foot times like?

Had to hold off on testing things out. Constant 100 deg. temps and a week long cars show made it a little undesirable to do high speed pulls and 1-4 the gear pulls. Working on a few things to test.
As for the 60' times 1.6/ mostly 1.7's on street tires

I would think the car with your mods would go like 116-120 with good shifting. A video would help us out.

BOV is what I'm thinking too. Possibly being cracked open doing a drag launch where I am building about 10psi, and WOT not exactly a normal way to build boost. Under a tuning style pull it boost builds "normaly" and the valve can hold. I was doing some pulls last night after redoing some vac. lines and changing some old ones. I did not log it was just a see how it feels kind of thing. Car def. seems to run the RPM range faster when not doing a drag launch.
I'm looking for someone in town to let me borrow an after market BOV and intake tube to test but no on really has one NOT in the car.

w/ those mods you should definitely be trapping higher, i couldnt imagine the elevation hurting you that much, unless your car is flooding w/ gas due to elevation

for those who disagree there are guys on here trapping 118 w/ evo 8s w/ 9 turbo's running 11.8s

they talked **** to me for a bit cuz i was running 11.9s and 8s on a stock block w/ fp black 535vdr but i was trapping 125-126

run about 30psi and should get a little higher trap time if you dont have driving issues

Seeing a log for a full track pass would help. See what the boost and a/f are doing. A consistent ET and mph block would make me think it is in the tune.
