When was this? She is running low on power right now....If it was a few weeks back she ran 11.5 at 121.....this week that just passed I could not hook if my life depended on it, I got a 1.9 60 footer and did 11.6 at 120....the trap speed is indicative of what power she is making and she is down. trying to figure out what is going on....

20+ to list......
11.6 @ 120 is still a great number, maybe your car is fine but just the traction? If you got your numbers with street tires & pump gas, I say your car is more than fine. Keep us posted.

Well these cars are supposed to trap 125+, if you go to dragtimes you will see most 65s trapping 123+ with a tune. The trap speed is very indicative of the power you are making.... Don't know what to say...I used street radials, maybe I need to switch to some MTs and mash that sucker...lol! Thanks.
