Humidity doesn't hurt track times all that much. Sure, the drier the air is, the more power your motor will make. But, the actual temperature is what should be your main concern. A 7 degree drop in ambient temp can shave a tenth in the 1/4 mile. The difference between 99% humidity and 10% is only a half tenth.

Humidity has the least effect on track times as far as producing maximum power from your motor. Keep your eyes glued on weather reports and forcasts for the day you want to go to the track. If it's forcasted to be colder than it has been in months, then I'd go. That's why you only see great track times from me in the winter time when the weather is below 60 degrees.

Also, barometric pressure has a lot to do with track times. Usually when it's sunny, dry and cold, the pressure should be up. That is if there isn't a chance of storms rolling in later in the same day.

I concentrate on overall air density and I'm able to predict my 1/4 mile times within .05 when I haven't even stepped foot on the track for that particular day. Once I have some time trials, I can get within .03 of my times.

I'm not sure if that question was ask to me. If you mean by street trim by 100% full interior without a single pound of weight reduction then no, I haven't run my car in street trim ever since I ran 16.7 when I was stock.

I'd probably run about 14.6 in the 1/4 mile if I had absolutely no weight reduction.
