I'm gonna beat this horse one last time. He has to have traction issues. How else can you run a 2.2 60' and then rip 13.2@113mph? Everything points to a traction issue. That or he absolutely bogged it at the start.

I don't see how one can say with a straight face launching at 4-5K does not cause traction problems.

No offense to your friend (and this coming from an arm chair quarterback, no less), but if he could not crack 2.2 60ft (especially with a claimed no traction issue), then maybe he doesn't know how to race (this particular vehicle anyways) quite as well as you think...

Regardless, he looks to be making more power than you (unless your shift points really are costing you that much). Would be curious to see what numbers he pulls on bren's dyno.
