congrats! :thumb: very nice time!

I wasn't going to be negative but the mph isn't off a little, it's way off. 108 is like a 12.3-4 range with that 60'. 2 slips tho so it's gotta be legit

Maybe she let off? My 11.85 pass was at 108 because I let off before the traps in a bracket race. My passes are all on little MH 28" tall drag radials and 11.8-11.9 passes are all 111-112mph with 1.6-1.7 60' times.

Not trying to take away from the accomplishment, just thinking out loud. :thumb:

The 1/8th mile speeds at 92-93mph are right on for a 113-114mph pass. I trap 89mph in the 1/8th for a 112mph 1/4. Either she is letting off, hitting a rev limiter due to the small tires, or the truck is nosing over on the big end for some reason.

Do the smaller tires really hurt your trap speed that much? Why?

Let off right at the end on my 11.89 run. It's legit haha few people there to verify the runs. The 11.89 run spun really bad off the line. If you look at the rest of the slip every time mark is a little better on the 11.89 run.

With my 420s which are 305/50s I was trapping 113 but couldn't get better than a 2.0 60'...changed the wheels and tires dropped mph but 60' were better. If you've never watched my truck run you wouldn't know but with my street tired the truck is all over the place it hops off the line for a good 60' or so. Which is why I couldn't get a good launch.

i can verify the run :thumb:

launch it pretty hard that pass :eek: but her 11.9 pass was 111 so the mph makes sense with her letting out
but her truck does trap consistent 113s on 420s

I have and I forgot the V2 at home that night so I couldn't swap the TCM tune. Video on my phone it won't let me upload it and haven't had time to put it on YouTube.
