Not bad, your car is flying. 108MPH. nice winter air, you have a mid 12 second car, probably trapping 110+

Nice job! I wouldn't be upset. I just did your DA in your area, and you were looking at a minimum of 1000ft, more like 1200ft. Not bad at all, wait for the fall/winter, and you're gonna be flying in that NPI!

BTW, your 1/8 suffered big time by your sixty foot. Your car looks like it is pulling hard on the top end after the difficulties off the line. You ran .1 faster than my car in the 1/8 mile, but look at how much faster you were trapping.

Get a set of wheels/tires and set an NPI "mustang" Record!

thanks, i tries to do some hard launches, but all it did was spin, so i was being realy gentle getting the car rolling, and then mashing it at like 2500-3000

Very nice man. Def. need to work on the launch but that takes time for sure. Still trapping good for sure.

That's a very impressive top end charge. Get the 60' to 2.00 and you can run a 12. You could run a mid 12 if you can make it hook hard off the line.

If you hook the car your MPH is going to drop so dont' look too much into the guy who is hitting 12s at 108.

thats a good time for a npi and great trap speed. i found out leaving real easy at the line then getting into around 2k rpm was the best way to keep from spinning but every car is different so try a few things out. and good luck

With a stall and 295's i need to launch at about 2400 or so to get a good dig, soon followed by about 3/4 throttle. At the crappy track i have to let out for the 1-2 shift.

i didnt spin on this run, i was leaving the line like i was on the street, getting it rolling then mashing it, and the track was preped very good, so once i got it rolling i could mash it and not spin in first gear......

I've done the same, 2.1 60'ft to a 13.3 @ 107...dead hooking 12.8 @ 105.xx

That's rolling off the line then going WOT soon after....just takes longer to pick up speed causing you to trap higher.

You've still got a strong running car, no doubt about it.

Those are great times man, & I can see that your car is gonna easily be in the 12's if you hook better. The weight is pretty impressive too because my 03 mach weighs 3,350 WITHOUT me in it....

Your trap speed is killer man. You really must have done good with those NPI heads. Get your 60' down to the 1.8 or even 1.9 range and you will be happy.

108mph is good for a mid 12, all else going right with the run.
