    How much does the car weigh? 250kgs of subs, amps and crap in the boot will have a negative affect on ET and MPH.

    I completely stalled my take off (so clock was counting) fired it back up and still ran 120mph, my average mph is between 118-121mph. depending on conditions..

    only had 1 day at the drags with the new 3.45's and dropped from 11.7 to 11.4 @ 121mph.

    Stopped reading after the first page.

    Time is low for the mods, by a fair bit.
    But Townsville is a horrible track.

    Try making the trip to Palmyra if you can.

    I was just illustrating the point that adding weight will reduce ET and MPH, without knowing the car's weight you cant really say it should run XXXmph.
    A huge sound system, a big heavy set of 20s including a spare, a few tools or other random items in the boot and a largish driver could add 250-300kgs and explain the poor performace, not saying its not disney dynoing, just offering another possiblity.

    the experts all own standard VE SS/ clubsports
    With those mods plus stally (as mentioned later) the rwkw seems about right (depending on dyno of course) but that time and mph seem way off for that power. My 1940kg SSV ute ran a 12.83 at 111.6mph with 260rwkw (bolt on only then) and your Berlina would be a lot lighter. With those mods on a decent track (no idea what that track is like) you probably should be mid 12s or better with decent tyres.

    Your car is slow for the mods. Forget the dyno figures, its not comparable to anyone else or other figures you see floating around.

    You have an issue somewhere there. It could be tune or mechanically an issue with your car. Given the size of the camshaft, even without decent heads the thing should make enough power to roll through 115mph + in its sleep.
