That would put you in the 10s without the DA of 4100?

10.9ish yes. I've tested my Dragy vs my Vbox vs the DragStrip and they all fall within +- 0.02 in ET. EXTREMELY Close.

NHRA Track specs is +- 1.0% Grade. This is checked by Dragy with Sats and it will VERIFY a run if it is within NHRA spec. I personally like +- 0.65%. I've been drag racing since 1978. I also like my Dragy better than Vbox since Vbox does not verify the Grade. Their ET is almost identical in accuracy.

I was curious if the C&D test (attached) was a "ringer" or accurate. I'm now convinced it was very accurate as they correct to sea level conditions. A stock F90 will run a 10.9x at sea level on a 70F 30.x baro day.

I am Impressed.

As a comparison my 2017 ZO6 auto 650/650 ran a best of 11.4 at 124mph with a high flow filter and cat delete X pipe at slightly better DA.

The F90 is an over achiever.

It has awesome gearing. First two gears stretch a bit more, but 3rd, 4th and 5th have a close ratio, that just makes this thing ballisticly fast.

Power is awesome too. God, I love this car

Another comparison, but with a big asterisk as it had a different driver and if LC is not used correctly it kills ET, a 2016 Turbo S ran 11.3 at 126mph. Now I’m not saying we are as quick as a stock TS, because we are not all things equal, BUT to be near it shows major sleeper status.

Time to head over to MIR on a Test & Tune day. I've run 11.3 on stock tires with just JB4 in my F10 M5 at Budds Creek.

Budds Creek is an excellent track with generally good DA. My bud has raced X275 there.
