I was actually looking at the second pic......My fastest of the day was actually 107.8X...can't remember exactly. I was actually trapping 107 in -100' DA a few weeks prior. It seems like a couple of factors were working against you. The stock flywheel might be the way to go. Are your tracks open year round by you?
And yeah, it seems that my car has been having issues left and right recently. The last 2 problems weren't even caused by me, which makes things worse. Oh well, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right?
BTW, how are you launching with your lightweight flywheel? I noticed that I couldn't get it to stop bogging no matter where I launched (didn't try 6, but I expect similar results). I would think slipping the hell out of the clutch is the most logical solution now, but slipping a 6 puck clutch isn't as easy as slipping a full face organic one especially since my car pretty much launches N/A (read:not much power) and then starts spraying after the launch.

It seems to be far more dependent on weather, track prep, etc than with a full weight flywheel. I can launch anywhere from 4200-5000 depending on the above variables. I know you lived in the mid-a for a while.....you know how the various tracks are all very different. There is just a razor thin margin b/w bogging and lighting the tires up. It usually takes me 2-3 pulls before I can get it right at any given weekend.
Dave at Function:Tuned did the tune. My car seems to make 20-30whp more than most of the other 03-06's I have seen tuned there (bolt-ons). I am going to make a few more attempts at 12's, but I plan to transition the car to more hpde/time attack racing after early spring. I have done any in a few years and miss it. Unfortunately it will like cause my 1/4 to drop off some.....give and take I suppose.

I hear there is a awesome new flywheel out by Southbend clutch that would do wonders for drag racing
