I definitely agree that 104 is plenty good mph to run 13's, but it's too low given his mods.  His trap speed may indicate he has a real problem...  A supercharged NSX with short gears/R&P etc should have traps at or beyond 110mph I'd think.  Doesn't a 97+ NSX run traps of 104 stock?  Dswartz is at 110 with normal aspiration.


multisync23 - I would pay close attention to how your car is acting.  Does the engine feel like it's "holding back", have small hesitations, etc?  Do you think you could be running lean and hitting some detonation?  I don't know that much about NSX ECU's at this point, but perhaps the ECU is sensing problems and is retarding your timing? 


You could try to hook up with an experienced driver to see if it's the driver or the car.. Or perhaps invest in some good tuning tools, like an EGT gauge so you can see how you're running.  EGT's are an invaluable tool for determining how a car with forced-induction is performing.  A small test you can try is to run race gas and see how the car responds, sometimes a borderline lean situation will be compensated for by higher octane.


A bad launch can kill your 1/4 mile time.  Shifting that isn't fast enough will do that too.  (Imagine, if you waste just 2 tenths of a second per shift, that's potentially .6 right there).  But neither of those things are likely to cause MPH's to be that low compared to where they should be..


dswartz- That's a very nice 60-foot time, congrats.
