Ran horrible times yesterday, it was 95 degrees out and it was killing everyones times.
Im not even gona post the whole thing
1st run: 12.8@ 105 shifted too early from 3rd to 4th
2nd run: 12.7@107
3rd run: 12.6@ 107
last run 12.5@107
Funny that i was trapping 89.59 in the 8th almost 90 which i liked but my top end was very weak!! Something was up with the car last night, top end didnt feel right, i dont know if it was the heat, any suggestions??

What pisses me off is that im almost at 90mph in the 8th but the top end sucks!! I was spiking 23.5 psi and holding 22-21 towards redline
Judging by your almost same E.T. but 3mph slower trap it looks like you picked up somewhere. Maybe better 60's?

I was just having a bad track day.. I was shifting around 7300 this time
Well it looks like your going to have to wait for some cooler weather to run again. I figured something bad must haev happened since it took you so long to post how you did
. Good luck next time.

! I wont be running anymore for a while, at least till it cools down, by then i should have my cams, and clutch
... Scott and i are gona data log my car tomorrow, i spoke to him today and he says the car might be switching between 2 ignition maps and told me he can get the car to run faster! I cant wait
Well, better luck next time. But yeah, I agree, I'd let the car chill for a while. You've been beatin' the hell out of it lately!
Still good consistent times though, but the mph wasn't there.
I'm sure Scott will do wonders once he get workin' on it! Good luck!
