what was your 1/8th mile trap speed during the 115 mph pass
what was your 1/8th mile trap during the 120mph pass
also please post up weather data from each date.
This will help narrow the possible cause of the 5 mph lower 1/4 mile trap.

Nice runs jikjak! Keep up the good work. I'm sure you will get those numbers down. It's great to see people consistently running in the 11s with the 55's ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I wouldn't doubt it. Ive seen stranger things happens at the track. 119mph is really high for stock though. But, wasn't that because you spun and got a worse 60 foot then your other runs?
Just my 2 cents. I only count my runs with traction. For example whatever my mph was on my lowest et run. Mph increases slightly with less traction. I'm sure you already know.

So far to date all my records were broken with the same pass. This would be a good indication of a clean run.

Like I mentioned to you, find your bottle neck and fix it. The only way to do this is to data log your runs.

ya im going to get my hands on one and see what it can tell me.
theres something going on with my ride, im thinking its heat or pulley related because i noticed the difference in the top end after changing over to the 180mm. it seemed to pull better up top with the smaller pulley and i was hitting 120mph before with that pulley.
on a side note i raced my friends modded gtr last night on a hwy run. i used to lose to him by about 1.5-2 cars and this time i was able to pull about half car ahead of him and it seemed like i was going to be able to pull farther ahead but then we ran out of room!

I think most reasonably agree, however, that once you mount up some DR's, you're no longer putting down a "stock" run. DRs are one of (if not the) most effective mods you can do on a 55K car.
Incredible performance, nonetheless.

OP - congrats on the 11's... nice numbers!

Jikjak, Do you have any cooling mods yet?

Adding DR's, you'd definitely go quicker... maybe faster, maybe not - but I'd give it a "probably."
