Well I finally got to the track last night. The track was ok but not the greatest. On the first pass it hooked good and then at the 1/8 it got real loose so I had to back out. Finally on the last run of the night it did this.
1.55
4.51
6.95 @ 100.5
9.06
10.84 @ 126.3
I do have a in car vid of the pass. I just need to up load it. I will say it has picked up about 1 to 1.5 mph since the last outing. I went 127 a couple times last night. The only down side is I need to bump my rev limiter now to 7k or 7100

Thanks for the compliments.

dude i wanted to ask... hows the weather affect a car thats all done up? I know that sometimes it has complete shitty effects on my parents car... Are we talking HUGE loss of power, or minimal?

If its a turbo or blower car down here it can affect it a quite a bit. My car being a nitrous car doesn't get the heat soak as bad but in the summer it can be a couple tenths difference. Mainly due to the converter and tranny temps can get a little hot, even with a cooler.
I know Rons Monte when he came down here to race was a bit off on his times and it was in september. And then when he went back up to Ned the car ran great for him. And his car isn't crazy modded.

I believe the best I ran that night was 12.50's and it was 75/80 with high humidity. Later in the cooler air back home I was running 12.20's with no changes.

Hmm I was just wondering. Especially when you run the ac down there when it's 85/90 with high humidity not only does it not blow that cold but the car runs like complete ass I try to go windows down but sometimes it's just too fuckin hot lol
