Not Ranked
Alsnake,
The mid 11 second times are interesting from the mph stand point. At 11.5 I would have expected to see well into the 120's (123-125) with a big block. The mph trap speed sounds more indicative of a small block, when considering the ET vs Trap Speed. A small block typically starts to 'run out of steam' toward the end, while a big block keeps pulling strong. I wonder if that big 514 could use some better 'tuning' for more top end pull? Perhaps it's leaning out a bit?
What rpm were you shifting at with your best run? Also with the T/A's I would expect your 0-60 ft time to be in the 2 second range as they are SO hard 'hook up'. If so, the numbers show some AWESOME power making up for 'lost time' outta the hole, while the lower mph leaves me scratching my head.
Could be a gear ratio effect, SO many variables with drag racing.
Good stuff...
