Thanks for the reply. I just know there is more potential somewhere, just on a better day. Lower temps, more miles on the engine, etc etc. I know my best run is 12.6 at 111 with my 335GT tuned. and it weighs 4000lbs, plus I'm 218. I have about 400 to the crank. So I'm sure the new 550 can hit 12 flat stock with better variables.
I have a fairly latge computer screen thank-you (72")...I was on my phone.

I think I will take the time to point out your ET and trap to show you that math is always involved in racing. 12.6 at 111 is literally about perfect when you see I went 12.3 at 115. 115 MPH however is good for about 11.9-12.0 in the most optimum of conditions.

What I love about trap speeds is - I don't even need to run an ET if I don't want to (using a car inrace for example and don't want to risk breaking) - because once I know the trap speed - unless I REALLY want that slip (which in the past I will admit I have) - I don't need to because I know what the car is capable of.

It's really handy.
