Traps and times are lower at numidia due to a 900 elevation and slightly up hill scale after the 1/8th mile mark. Torque on a b head 4v is lower than other 4vs and 2vs with the same power as well. I wanna say steves power is at 411rwhp/36xrwt

How far up are you taking the RPM between shifts? Should be trapping 117++

Im looking at some of my older time slips....heres one on street tires, 1/8 mile MPH 87.6 mph, 1/4 mile mph 116.11

Seems like you should be picking up a lot more on the back half of the track....90 to 111 is weaksauce.


Although with traction I was able to trap 97 mph in the 1/8th and 121 mph in the 1/4.

I know my car ran quite fast for what it was but this was a stock longblock 2v auto car with a best dyno of 384 rwhp.

Does the car feel ok?

Seems almost like it falls over top end?
