I have most of that weight savings too besides removing the a/c, seat and roll hoop covers. I have an ap2 that makes 240whp with very similar mods as yours and ran a 13.6 at 101 with a 2.0 60'... something doesn't add up... if i cut the 60' by .1 sec and shed another 200lbs(.2 sec) i would be around 13.2-13.3 and probably only 103mph... I don't get how you can rip that 60' time and still trap 107mph... crazy lol.... ahhh wait but i did have 4.57 gears at the time so i was shifting into 5th... your ap1 probably hit 107 in 4th... i've wanted to go back since i recently switched back to oem gear ratio... I tried just bouncing it off the limiter in 4th and only ran a 13.9 at 97mph lol
what track did you race at, and what's the date of your pass? I can look up the weather on the dragtimes app and see what the Density Altitude (DA) was during that time. 1000' of da change is roughly .13 sec and similiar mph. What rpm did you launch at? A bogging 60' will slow your mph a bit. How fast are you shifting it? You also have an extra shift. All of these things are big factors.

I know 4th gear in an Ap1 trans can go out to approx 117-118mph max, bouncing off the limiter. I believe i set my limiter at 9300rpm

The track elevation is 600' i'd have to dig up the slips to get the dates. I was launching at 5500-6k rpm feathering the clutch quite a bit. I know i could work a lot on the launch as i don't have NEARLY as much seat time as you. Very little bogging as i put my foot right to the floor right as i start moving and control the launch with the clutch pedal. Would like to try launching at 8k rpm but i don't want to completely destroy my clutch lol. I shift as fast as humanly possible lol this i do have a lot of experience with and never miss a shift. The shift into 5th must take .2 of a second so thats time not on the throttle... who knows... i'm just blown away by your trap speed with those 60' times. Crazy...

His times are deff doable it's all in the 60' and the ability for the car to keep its momentum. I have no doubt in my mind that if my car didn't hop basically all the 60' I'd be trapping 108-109. Only have 3 passes in on drag radial so like op said. Seat time will only improve the times.
