As far as mph goes last time I was at the track my buddy and I ran our cars he has a 89' Corvette and I have a 98' T/A. his only mods are: custom built exhaust with a X pipe and 2 chamber Flowmasters, screen removed from MAF meter, TPIS air foil, 160 thermostat, spare & jack removed and a 2500 stall converter out of a 85' Vette with 252 gears!! he ran a 13.2 @ 98+ mph ? strange!! his 60ft was a 1.80 and his 1/8 was 8.4 ! my pass was a 13.1 @ 106.49 and he beat my 60 ft & 1/8 mile, my 60ft was a 1.996 and my 1/8 was a 8.59 @ 84.71 !! but I see this all the time its torque-vs-hp. I had him by almost 8 mph in the 1/8 mile but he was ahead of me by well over a tenth...so 13.9 @ 97+ sounds about right, find a cold dry day and see your ET drop and your mph go up.
