If you don't use full throttle during the entire run, then you're not using the same amount of power and the comparison is no good.

If we went by that, then I could do a complete half-throttle run and be hooking the whole way and I can guarentee that my mph would a lot lower than the full-throttle run spinning through 1st and 2nd. :P

2.1 60' - 13.55 @ 106
Proof?

I've had difference like that at different time os the year with the exact same combos!

. . . it's called weather changes. Comparisons need to be on the same day for them to mean anything to me.
