Nice times, but I'm really surprised that you didn't get into the 11's. Our cars are nearly identical on the timeslip, yet I ran into the 11's at our local track this past weekend. You had a better 60' and higher trap speed than I, so it's weird that you didn't go 11's??? Here's my slips from this weekend to compare against....

Your car is definitely fast for being N/A. Must be the time off the gas for upshifts that's the difference between our cars' timeslips.

Yeah it is!! 
Isn't it correct the centri's take time/rpm's to build HP? (sort of like a turbo vs a blower...)
I've been watching the Pro Mods on espn and one guy has a turbo vs some blown and some nitrous. He has won a couple of races against both configurations - but just barely. That turbo finally kicks in and he slingshots the other guy right at the finish.
Isn't a centri similar?

In theory, you're correct. Similar powerbands - turbo and centri. However, my car seems to buck the trend (likely the big stall converter and 4.10 gears, though). The OP's car launches hard like mine (actually, slightly better 60' time than mine), and he traps higher than me (115 mph vs 114 mph). So, he launches harder and finishes faster, leaving the middle of the track to explain why I get into the 11's and he doesn't (yet). His car is plenty fast and impressive, so it's just a matter of time until he nails 11's most every pass.

Who's heads? Missing from your line up. For a manual guy you must be a **** good shiftman. I am an auto guy also and it is hard to believe anyone could shift a manual as fast but you my man are getting real close!!

With the gears/tires you must be shifting into 4th shortly before the finish? I was with manual, 4.10s, and 325/17 drag radials. That extra shift could be slowing you down just enough (for now).
