Nice run! If you could drop your 60's a bit more, you could easily hit low 12's.

Did you mean 118mph?

108 seems VERY low...that's E39 M5 range.

I assume since you had golf clubs in the trunk and 3/4 of a tank of fuel you were probably not running drag radials. Was this on street tires? If so that is a pretty good 60ft and what tires do you have?

Trap speed does sound low for sure, wonder if the pump isn't working unless that was some kind of typo.

Im guessing this is no typo.. With that much extra weight in the car (gulf clubs and fuel) mixed with im guessing high ambient temps 12.5 is right on par.. I ran my car a few weeks ago, just for fun in 80 degrees temps and couldn't muster anything better than 12.5 @ 110.. Heat is for sure the killer on these cars

It sound like you both need new IC pumps. The slowest I've ever trapped was 114 on the third back-to back-to back run with a full tank of gas and 290 pound driver in 80+ degree weather. Heat is a killer, but 108-110 mph is just ridiculous unless it's like 130 degrees outside. I know some tracks, for whatever reason, are more conservative(or liberal) with the MPH, but that is way off the 115-116 that MOST people trap.

Looks good to me but to know more we would have to know the DA you were dragging it.

These things seem to be Ultra sensitive to DAs.

If that was your time at 100ft DA, than obviously that is low. 3000ft DA?...different story.

I have an upgraded pump buddy.. I love how people go by what car and driver says the car will do and what it will it trap.. Those are under ideal conditions with a good driver.. Not every track is going to trap 115-116 stock which "apparently" most people are trapping.. Lost some gas and the golf clubs and run it again in some 50 degree weather and im sure youll be in the low 12s
