I ran 11.90 at 123 mph with a 3:31 rear gear, just barely into 4th and still pulling very hard at the end.

I was in third gear at around 6200 rpm at the end of the quarter mile. But the rpm indicator was quite unstable (Smith instrument) and I almost reached my speed rev limiter set on Mallory Hyfire VI)at 6300rpm.
