Tire size and gear ratio play a huge factor . Most fast cars you see running 1/8th mile are set up for 1/8th .

My old Cobra with 26" ET Streets and 4.10s couldn't make it through the 1/4 mile . It would bump the rev limiter about 200 ft before the end stripe . I put a 28" tire on it and problem was fixed .
