A common misconception. "Miles" are "miles". The actual conversion problem is that Canadians use metric seconds. Each metric second is 1/100000 of a day, rather than 1/86400 of a day in the old "English" system.

13.2@106 for me and 11.3@126 for my freinds turbo, as far as i know they should be the two fastest street S2K in the US for NA & Turbo respectively. I was dissapointed that i couldnt hit the 12.9 mark but i couldnt keep my A/F consistent and was only able to pull off a 2.0 60ft. Im adressing the A/F problem with the EMS FINALLY and ill also be putting my ITBs on should put me easily into the 12s then ill try some drag radials and that will be all i will be able to do for this season.
