His et and mph is low. My car at 522/480 did 11.80 at 121mph. My best 60ft was 1.84, my 1/8 was really close to your but the mph was at about 98mph.

I'm thinking the 4.10's of a lack of traction are really hurting him on the launch and getting wheel spin in 1st and 2nd.

A friend's 460hp cobra with 4.10's has a best of 11.55 at about 121mph with a 1.58 60'.

It's running a MT et drag so wheel spin isn't a issue nor is the driver
Several people made passes in the car and trap would be around 103-108mph

Clutch slipping?

My car went from 130, to 131, to 113 in three passes when my exedy twin got tired.

Other possibilities are clogged cats, failed IC pump.

If the car is making 560rwhp it should trap >120. I would expect at least 126 and that's with a really heavy car in not the best air and no ice. I wouldn't put this issue on the tune.

Clutch was replaced not long ago. When he had the ported/pullied steggy be trapped a best of 117mph. Now with the kb he can barely hit 112mph.
Passes were done at Sacramento raceway which is just above sea level on a cool afternoon.
