Default Header only T/A traps 114.54mph

Took my boys 02 WS6 to the track today. It was 90 degrees with 53% humidity, so I didn't think I was going to get a new best. But the first pass there I got a new best. 12.71@112mph. I was happy but I knew it would go faster. Then I went a 12.65@114.64mph. I made a few other pass but they were slower.Next pass I went a 12.55@114.54mph. 114mph witha total of $800 spent. $500 for the Pacesetter headers with ypipe and $300 for Mickey Thompson drag radials. No tune, no air lid. We removed the front sway bar, and the back seats. The car still was a pig @3560lbs. The best before was a 12.79@109 on dr's and 12.84@109street tires. I also met a few forum members I can't remember their names. One had a 5.4 3valve with a turbo. I think he had a few problems with the car but it looked like it will roll when he gets the bugs worked out.My friend also had a new best inhis 04 cobra with aported eaton and bolt on's 11.39@123mph onnitto dr's.
Here is a break down on the best ticket.

1.796 60'
5.271 330
8.109 1/8
87.37 mph
10.532 1000
12.557 1/4
114.54 mph

...5mph is a little bit of a strech for me to believe on just headers
