I agree, 130mph is low for the mods/boost/octane if you have a good pass.

it's possible...or shifted rather than holding it down. some people mistakenly let up too early where the finish line isn't the score board, stuff like that is common.

who knows until we see a timeslip with the 1/8th etc..

That's exactly what i was saying......at least we'll get a good idea of how much mph it picks up on the big end.

Maybe he's just holding back for some reason.......as i too find it a little odd to have those mods and hp and only trap similar to my set-up (130)

However just like him i know how frustrating it is not to get a clean pass to really see the potential of the car

good 60' with that kind of power on street tires
1/8th mile looks low. I made significantly less power than you and ran 108 in the 1/8th about a month ago. what were you shifting at?
