I believe you should be running around 115 with that much HP. Dont know what cam you have but shiting at 5500 seems kinda low. I had to baby my Challenger off the line and ran 115 at 12.3 and I had less hp. trap speed is a sign of HP..but your trap speed does match your ET pretty good, imho.

BTW, I love your car!
