Only if you shift into 4th gear will you run faster than 110 or having a tail wind possibly. My car hits the fuel shut off in 3rd gear right at the traps or just before it , on every pass. Which in turn is killing my MPH for those who dont know there are 3 boxes at the end of the track. The 1st is to trigger and collect your MPH at that point. The second is the E.T. box and the third is another MPH box that calculates the time traveled between the first and last box to give you your MPH in the quarter mile. My car seems to run the better E.T. running it out in 3rd instead of shifting at the end of the track into 4th.
