Given the bad conditions you guys had that night running a 11.51 @ 122 is pretty good if you ask me. I'm sure in more favorable conditions his car will easily be in the 11.3's. What were the conditions when he ran his PB? That would probably tell whether or not his car is performing better or the same as before.

Mo, do you know what his dyno number were? Did Shawn see a gain after the custom tune?
When he ran his personal best, DA was only 900 and temps were 55 F, so his car is likely stronger now. I believe he gained 20 whp after custom tune at RPI dyno dynamics under Jeramy's supervision.

By chance do you have any runs of Mo and Shawn? I know they're slow when compared to the monsters on the video but I still love watching MB's go down the track.
