Sooo, what would I trap?
I have an 01 couple boosted on 8 PSI going through a 3.73 gear and it's a 6-speed. The car put down 540/455 on the dyno. Lets assume that the DA is normal conditions (whatever that may be...I'd like to know that as well if anyone does). I am having an arguement with some friends and they don't think I can trap 130...

If the conditions are just right, you have some experience and willing to pound it down the track, you just might.

I say 129.9. ooooh so close. Maybe its time to up the boost. 
Just go take it to the track and run it until you get the mph you want on a slip. Then you have proof but I say it can be done.

My 440rwhp M6 car traps 123mph leaving on and off the gas on street tires in ok weather. I would think with the extra Hp your car has pending you havent added alot of weight is going to trap 130mph on a clean pass with ok weather. Saying you have traction, good shifting, not alot of weight in the car etc. Good luck and keep the RUBBER SIDE DOWN!
