    Ya, this much I knew. Car just feels its losing up top. I know its a rough comparison but guys are going faster in worse air than me with less of a 60'.

    Car should be sitting in the high 11's

    They're not very organized. Plenty of slick cars, handful of street cars. Only got 4 runs in in about 5 hours or so.

    Looks about right to me for a car that needs more gear ;) Actually typical street car deal.

    When I have my softer set-up in my car that's right about what I run for ET / MPH and I'm going through the traps at 5400 rpm in 4th ... I have more gear here for mine ;) I'm a little quicker, but 60' better.

    Ah, just from ym research it seems 5.0s with similar mods are trapping around 117 with about the same DA. Running similar times, although I don't think they're 60 footing as good as me which can account for the lower traps.

    Looks good to me for QC.
    QC you gained 22.77 mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4.
    PRP 22.79 mph from 1/8th to 1/4.

    Pretty minor differences overall really.

    For what it's worth if anything. 2011 GT 3.73's stock picks up 24.5 mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4. Different track, D/A, elevation etc. Getting into 1:1 about 1,200 feet out.
