Congrats. Now all you have to figure out why you have a high mph and high ET for the mph. Maybe diff ratio or stall convertor if auto ;) It's going to get faster

I'm in the very same process. I ran 12.2@115.75mph. That mph alone puts me into the mid to low 11sec bracket. That is exhaust on too. My stall speed was lower than my 11.9 pass. Now I'm reupping the stall speed. Hopefully I get my convertor this week and I can get out racing again.

How fast should I be going with that mph?

It's an auto.
