Shutting off top end will affect your mph more than your ET. Most of your accelerating has been done by then.

this guy is more accurate IMO. id guess u would only have ran a 12.6. MPH and ET at the 1/8th mile mark isnt anything spectacular even with a turbo MPH would/could b higher than a similar NA setup but those poor turbos 60s just dont cut it.

theres no way u shut down top of 3rd. ur 330', 1/8, and mph all coincide for a mid 12 sec run @ about 110mph. top of 3rd is right at the 1/8 mile if u had coasted all that way you wouldn't have pulled the 12.8. nor would u have ran 101. Im guessing u shut down @ the 1000' but anyways had u not shut down I agree w/ the above statements that you would have ran around a mid 12. good luck w/ the head gasket

Looks like you shut down well into 4th gear. What tranny were you using?

Doesnt matter what gear it was in when it was shut down, it was going over 100mph when it happened. Your ET aint gonna be hurt much after you've gone 100 in a 12 second car.
