Therefore, you are actually traveling a longer distance after 60mph to the 1/4 mile than you were before, so if the improvemnt in times are the same for each, you actually picked up in the top end too, because that distance was made longer, and you are covering it in the same time as you were before. Does that make sense?
Yeah that actually does make alot more sense, thanks. I have had 2 other f-bodies use my g-tech. The times varied alot but did seem about accurate for their mods. Mine just seemed like the time was too fast. I fully modded 5 spd 00 GT cams gears all that minus headers and beat him by about 4 car lengths around 110mph. Same results all 3 races and he ran a 13.2 so i dont think my g-tech is too far off.
