i find your claim highly dubious...

136 doe not = mid to high 9s.... high 9s low 10s


for mid 9s you need 140-145 traps

With the power he's making, he should be lifting the front tires, but he's not. You can see how soft his launches are... that's all spin. He does have a trans-brake but most nights he can't use it because the car won't hook at all.

135mph traps should only be good for a low 10, maybe high 9.
