10's on $5,000 ?

I was just using my current Duster as in "on paper" vs "reality" as in all the paper, Wallace calculators, Dyno pulls ... ANYWAYS, you are correct, none of any of this will make a difference on what my car will or will not do. 12.2's to 10.9's .... who knows.

Your 3500lb? Duster@289fwhp/26" tyre?/2.94 gears. (Moroso always shows less hp) on paper>
60 Foot E.T. : 1.86
1/8 Mile E.T. : 8.44
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 80.54
1/4 Mile E.T. : 13.38
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 100
You only shifted once as you said is why your car ran what it did.....My stock headed 340 '71 Cuda ran the same, 13.31'[email protected], 3.55's/26"tyres, that showed 298fwhp...2 gear changes.
