IDK how else to say it, higher octane combats detonation along with higher temps. Humidity is a BIG killer, as it takes it space where 02 needs to be.....

i didnt say air temp gauge, i said air/fuel gauge

Without a full tank of gas 12.3-12.4 at 111mph was possible at Fontucky. Got there at 7pm to watch and they asked me if I wanted a tech card. Okay let see what she will do with an extra 100+ pounds weighing her down.BSed for a bit and from about 9:00pm did the classic IE Evo hot lap display that Smog knows I have a habit of doing at Carlsbad and busted a 12.6 at 110mph and two 12.5s at 109-110 mph.. It was cool at 9pm and not much of a headwind but a lil one. I went 11-0 on the day including the Rodney King type beating I put on you at Ghettosbad.(last statment is a joke as our run was close and you did trap 114mph to my 111mph. So all in all an okay day at two slow tracks with 11 slips ranging from 12.3-12.8. I must say I do like how smooth Fontucky feels compared too Ghettosbad. Ghettosbad is like dragging on a Motox track in comparison. Put Fontucky's 1/4 mile track in Carlsbad and 12.1 or a lil better might be a possibility.OUT!
There was one, it was yellow one, I thought it was you? He hit back to back 12.5 1/4 Mile times later in the night, like after 10PM.

I put my pump in on my lunch hour , That plate is kinda tricky , i just keep trunin it ultil it came out , and the rubber sleave that goes om the pump I could not make it fit so i left it off. when you do put ur pump on it will make the car run richer upper Rpm's but the straght pipe might just change it back the other way . so good luck , july 10 iam coming to faytville 4 a show @ the strip will u be there?
