Problem is you went with 3.73's instead of 4.10's

3.73's are probably fine. When it comes to gears you have to ignore the opinion of 90% of people who post. Most people will just spit out 4.10 or bust, when the honest reality is that's not what is always best. Temperature and humidity make a big effect on your time. What were you trapping and what are your future plans for the stang? If you ever want to trap higher than 112 MPH you've picked the right gear

In all seriousness, do you think you may have possibly babied it a little at the line, thinking you were going to get more wheelspin?? I've done that before.. Plus yes, the Track's conditions (weather, preparation, runs, etc) make up at least 25% of your run...


Did you GET anymore wheelspin?? That ET/Speed look okay, but your MPH are high...

Well I staged it at about 2000 rpms also lowered my air pressure to 20lbs and the car grabbed great...it did break'em loose from 1-2 but it wasnt anything too serious...I really hope its just the weather plus I think the drag radials and suspension will help too.
