you trapped 10 mph more than him, and et'd ~1 second lower, with the same 60ft time. It all makes sense.

Absolutely get it tuned before beating on it at the track...

But, once you get it tuned, get back out there and give her hell!!!

I guess I should have specified, based on his mph and 60ft, his ET is right. But his mph is way low for a car with his mods.

Of course you're going to have a lower ET with a 117mph trap, just as I had a lower ET with a 111mph trap. It doesn't mean you're a better driver, it just means your car makes more power.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the post above already explaining the 10mph difference. :P

I think what he meant to say is RT has no effect on ET & MPH in relationship to the 1320' numbers. However,RT actually has a lot to do with "drag racing" when all is said and done.
