Weird slip. You sixty isn't bad for street tires and your MPH says low 13s. Both runs are consistant so now you know what she runs.

Exactly what I was thinking.... My 2.0x 60fts with 107-108 traps were all 13.1x passes. Your 1/8th mph is low... I was hitting 84-85mpg with those traps... Picking up on the top half for sure... Get some lighter rims and you will have 12s on street tires as long as you pull a descent 60ft.

Thats about what I expected to be honest. You might squeeze another tenth out of that 2.1 60', but its going to be tough on those wheels. Just takes a lot to get them moving. Glad you have those 4.30s to cancel a lot it out. 17 or 18" tires all the way around with a set of drag radials would easily run a 12.7-12.8 and should pick up 2-3 mph. I'd be pretty happy with it. Nice work!

I will probably be investing in some racing rims. But I was happy with it!
My driver mod looks like it was there which surprised me since it was my first time out.
What's a good set of light rims that I could look into??
