Well, thank you booger for admitting you're not the best driver in the world like most people on here. If you only got 108 with 350whp, it tells me you've had lots of traction issues. Maybe you shouldn't have upped the power but rather worked on your traction issues.

As for your question, I would assume somewhere around 110 due to traction issues.

Do you have a timeslip you can post so we can see what's giving you a hard time on the track?

You come up to Nebraska in the middle of a corn field and run your Z . You would be lucky to break into the 13's at all . Ive seen a bunch of Z's run before the track shut down and none of the broke into the 13's .You guys get spoiled at good tracks that are at or close to sea level , and probably a down hill track . Ours was a old runway .

No , no time slips . Its been over a year since Ive been there . I ran...2.0 60ft...13 to 13.2 1/4 mile and trapped 108mph . I have gotten lucky one time and got the 60ft to 1.98 and ran 12.98 at 108mph . Ive always tried to keep the gas on just enough to be barely spinning the tires off the line and increased gas as speed increased

Trust me. You need to come to TX and race in the extreme heat and humidity. The car will not run even close to what you'll expect. I drag in 100 degree weather with 50% humidity. That's why my personal best doesn't look like much and that's why we dyno so low.

Well what times and trap speeds do you get . I take it you are mostly stock ? You have to remember Im probably 500lb's heavier also .

Do you run DR's - slicks ?
suspention set up for dragging ?

Given the same atmospheric conditions at the same track, probably about 5mph.

That's pretty much what I said. If you want an even better idea, run it and see.

Just guessing with your old numbers you possibly ran the 1/8 in 86-87mph.

So trap 91-92mph.

I'm basically stock - popcharger, mrev2, y-pipe back exhaust.. I only dyno'd at 244 whp and 230 wtq.. it was 101 degrees though with high humidity..

My best was a 13.8 @ 103 with a 60' of 2.0. This run was on 23rd of June so imagine all the heat and humidity of Texas during summer.
