Its not me, but I guy I raced last friday(I dont know him). His ET was 15.757 and a trap of 100.64. Does that mph seem a little high for the et? I think it was some kinda of import. Thanks.

traction or lower rpm tuning issues.

Could be the timing lights error.

Probably just geared wrong. When I was using a 383 stroker and had 3.27 gears in the diff I was running 12.0 at 117 mph. Usually 12.0 is in the 108-109 mph range. I ran out of track well before I ran out of rpm. Geared properly it should have run 11.6's.

Chances are that car is the same. 100 mph should be good for a low 13 or high 12 second pass if the gearing is set up better so the car crosses the finish line at red line. There's also a possibility that it has so much power and no traction that it just spun through the lower gears and lost the ET from wheel spin.
