he isnt going high enough in the RPMs or there is a problem. all I could think of is his redline being too low, can he hit 6600RPMs?

His speedo could be off...or slow maybe.

My speedo runs about 8-10mph behind under full trottle accelleration (well it reads 91-92 in the QM, when I am actually trapping 100-101).

I'm not sure, but I think you would be better off hitting 60mph in third because you might be able to get more HP overall. I don't remember what the HP curve looks like but I think that at 6600 rpm you don't have as much as earlier.

0-60 is what sells cars (unfortunately), but 1/4-mile times are more relevant to demonstrating a car's true straight-line performance.

My $.02...
