Well, you've got the slip, but I'm seeing a timing equipment "flake out". It's quite possible that a piece of debris, bird, and/or the trapspeed boxes just weren't reading consistently. It happens. There have been times at my track where my my 1/4 trapspeeds were a solid 3mph slower than normal and the same went for everyone else there that night too. My ETs and 1/8 traps were completely normal, but my traps were just a solid 3mph slow evne though I was crossing the finish line at the same MPH I always do.

Why do I say it's equipment problem? Because no NA CSVT is that fast in the 1/8th. Here's my reasoning:

1) Your ran a 9.8s to 10.4s with trapspeeds ranging from normal and believable 74s and then a freakish 76.7 and then a 78.1. Sorry, but unless you're the worlds worst shifter ever, it is nearly impossible for your trapspeeds to change on such a scale of +/- 4mph. Trapspeed changes very little in comparision to ET. My ETs might change .2 because of my 60', but my MPHs are always within .7mph.

2) 9.8s = ~15.2s and 10.4s = ~16.0s. 74mph traps suggest ~93mph traps for a CSVT because most CSVT gain 19-20mph in the last 1/8th mile. A 78mph trapspeed would suggest a 98mph trapspeed which is VERY hard for me to believe especially considering the car is running a 15.2@98mph">15.2@98mph</a> with a higher 2.3 60'. My Maxima (~195fwhp/195fwtq, 3170lbs with driver) consistently gains 21-22mph in the final 1/8 mile and gets 77mph in the 1/8 which nets 14.4s with 2.2/2.3 60 foots. Sorry, but there is no CSVT in this Org that is close to running <a href="mailto:14.4@98mph. DemonSVT might be close, but he's got extensive work done.

3) Like Demon said, it will take well over 200fwhp to 78mph in the 1/8 with a 3200lb (w/driver) CSVT. Seeing that the highly modified 2.5s are making ~185-190fwhp and 170fwtq, I have a hard time believing the 78mph trapspeed is accurate.


You've got the slips so you do have proof, but most of us know that is highly unreasonable that you're car really is that fast unless you've got nitrous/turbo/SC. I think it's an equipment problem.
