Correct, I ran a 1.74 60ft and went 11.98 @ 114mph. Also have run 11.99 @ 115-116mph with a 60ft of 1.76-1.85

7.7X @ 88-90mph 1/8 times for me (on par with many 11.5-11.7 TT times, but slightly down on 1/8 trap)...on the day of the 114mph trap I had a nasty headwind...

Jackie, you just dont sound very convinced that you can break into the 11's with a trap of 114. At what mph do most mustangs break into the 11's? I know thats a pretty broad question because of peoples different setups.

i gain 25+mph on the top side. So my car is good on the other end. i'm at 89mph in the down side and not even giving it wot in first. So there is more left.

I think with my current setup 11's are there.

i think it can be done with a lot less mph, im just saying your short time and 1/8th has to be strong to do so.
