Yeah, I would have had it on that run, but then the car decided not to grab the last gear before the line. You'll see that even though my R/T was good on that one, my trap speed was terrible because it wouldn't shift.

Needless to say, I stopped running it after it decided not to shift.

I never said that this was not true. You'll see I note both my short comings and the cars. Either one could be improved to reach my goal.

Next time try leaving the instant you see the last amber light and see what your time is.

you guys do realize that reaction time does not make a difference in the time or MPH right??

Em, at WOT you can only hit that speed in 3rd, and 3rd doesn't shift to 4th until 120, 2nd to third is around 70.
I really don't think you were doing 84 in second or 4th, but if your trans is shifting early that would explain a bit.
