I could see a high trap speed, but not witht hat 60' time... That means he had like no spinning = lower trap speed.

And a 13 second pass at only 97mph WILL HAVE to have sticky tires. It would require a 1.9 60' or so
my first 13 came with a 2.110 60' time and a 100.30 mph MD on slicks, so that shoots your 1.9 60' theory all to heck.

Bring it to Houston and we will make it run 13s with gears and exhaust and a pulley.
Houston is damn near below sea level and with good air, good times will be there too!

Im havin a tough time believin the 103+ trap speed outta just an extra 20 or 30 hp 
here's my timeslip from the best run before I switched from 3.73 to 4.56 gears. this is one of the passes from March 2000 in 50 degree air when I averaged the 13.915 @ 100.45 I mentioned earlier in this thread.
60' 2.080
330' 5.821
1/8 8.925
mph 79.23
1000' 11.584
1/4 13.821
mph 100.63
note the 2.08 60' combined with the 13.821 ET!
and 2 more mph wouldn't have taken all that much more HP to get, especially since my home made ram air intake increased my top end mph from 96.852 up to 99.333 after I added it on the Stang. heck, a good tail wind might have put me there too! 
What I'm trying to say here is simply this, where you run (track altitude) and the weather, including the wind and wind direction, on any given day has tons to do with how well any car will run. in my case, the weather can add or subtract up to 0.4 secs to my ET on any given day.
and as far as tires go, slicks are made for drag racing, so why not run slicks! I do! LOL

Hey all, I was just wondering what kind of suspension mods help in the 1/4. Is it more than just dropping it? Thats the next thing I want to do after I get some new gears. Any kits out there that are particularly good for acceleration?

How many pages do you think this will stretch out before it gets locked?

I figured as much. That's why I didn't make any cash bets...

I'll lock it right before it gets to the 7th page... just so I can prove you wrong 
And I'll reopen to say "HAH" as the final locking post
Then What Pardnah?
