I know you are not blown right now but what are your mods?

L/T's w/ O/R x-pipe, jlt cai, full tubular k-member, a-arms, 90/10 struts with 14" 175 coilovers, a lot of weight reduction, upr pro series lower control arms, spherical housing bushings, upr pro series upper radius rod control arms, solid axel swap w/ 4.10's, and a tune. With that mph i should be deep into the 12's.

That's odd. The 60' time is identical, and your times at the 1/8 and the 1000' are nearly half a second faster. I don't know much about analyzing slips, but it sounds like something happened towards the end of your run.

Sounds to me like the car might need a lil tuning, like its losing something up top maybe? What the hell happen from 1000' to the 1/4? Your new time was .6 seconds faster in the 1000', which means some serious shit went down in the last 320 feet. Did you only run once?

Yea I only got to run once I was helping out with a friends car to much to run, but yea something is not right. I'm going to go back next weekend and run some more to see. I also think i'm going to take off the filter and clean it some, and another thing i think my gears are hurting more than helping me. I think i'm falling out of the power range when i shift to fourth, but am unsure at the moment.

def something amiss top end....your new times match mine fairly closely, seems you are a hair quicker, then between 1000 and 1320' it apparently fell on it's face...w/ similar numbers up to 1000 feet, my 1320 time was 12.557 @ 110.3....

Did you have the 4:10's before? That 3-4 shift at the end can't be helping.
