Spinning the tires does not always build mph.....When you spin excessively like he does you can actually lose mph.

My car picked up 4mph on slicks over drag radials, and I knocked off 3 tenths off my 60ft. On drag radials I had to leave the line at an idle and still spun all of 1st and half of 2nd, I had to gradually accelerate till I was at WOT.

Even if you only run 106mph on slicks that could still be a 12.3-12.4 but if you have the power to spin the tires in third gear then I bet you will hit at least 108mph.

By looking at your mods I would guess you were a high 13 second car . I am assuming that your car is stripped down to the max or something.

Do you have an aftermarket speedometer or what cause my 88GT speedometer only goes to 85mph.

The more I think about it I dont think that theres any way you are hitting 110mph in the 1/4 with a stock upper intake....but I could be wrong.
