    There was no spin, dead hook. This car picks up mph the harder I launch. My best mph on street tires came from my best 60' (1.94 60). My best mph on DR's came from my best 60'(1.88). My car isn't your car. Your's may mph less with a better 60', but mine, judging from the past 20 passes I have made down the strip in various stages of tune, puts down more mph the better my 60'. I have 20 slips that follow this trend.....no exceptions.

    From your race weight and power, you ran on a negative DA day. My car should go 127mph on a negative DA day. Corrections show it at 126.xxmph on a 0 DA day. Roughly ~10whp per mph. 127mph - 122mph = 5. 5 x 10 = 50hp. 415whp + 50whp = 465whp. I am right in line where I should be using "the basic rule of thumb"

    I won't give out anymore info to prove anything to you.. I just know what the norm is.

    The fact is with 480+ rwhp, you should be trapping over 128-131 in your car.

    When the weather gets cooler, hopefully you'll hit that mark.

    Your times do look off, because when my camaro was bolt ons only it ran a 12.1 @ 115 with a 1.95 60'.
