Dont Go To The Track When its 102*

A couple friends wanted to go, i know its only a 1/8 but the nearest 1/4 is 3-4hrs away. I picked up 3-4 more mph (86-91) from the last time (after I retune the timing and made it more aggressive) better 60ft (from 1.74 to 1.67) but same time 7.8 . Alot of ppl were complaining there times were off but the heat is probably the blame. Little video I made enjoy:

Also I know I can WOT shift to get better ET but I have to drive this thing home I already lost one tranny from my last car doing that crap

If your 60' was better and your MPH was higher but you ran the same time it simply means you were shifting slower.

hmm i dont feel like my shifting change though, the only thing that was different was I took it to 7500ish in 2nd and 7600ish in 3rd just to keep me from coasting to the finish or shifting into 4th. But like I said there were several people complaining about there ET's being a couple 1/10's off that day.

i guess I should made it @ least one pass WOT shifting but I dont know how much these cars can take doing that.

the only thing else I can think of is I change my tires from the last time I was @ the track. Going from a 235 to 255, I also notice in DLL that I lost couple mph's up top but it acclerated faster. It had me thinkin "how did I lose power from a better tune" then it hit me the tires. The tune is way better than last time to (just more timing a/f is still 11.8 to 11.6 @ redline)

but again it was ALOT cooler when I went last time running 7.8 @ 86 running WAY less timing. then that day my intake temps were 125-145 running 7.8 @ 91 with more timing no knock. I think the motor was working twice as hard from the temp. Any that has been to FL can comment on the heat with humidity. I have been to Iraq were its dry heat and think its worse with humidity.

this is just my opinion
