Hold crap thats not too good of a condition to run, you want the temp and humidity as low as can be. If your lucky a tail wind as well. Dont expect anything amazing with those conditions.

espeically if you have an intake, you loose power a lot more with an intake when its hot out compared to the stock airbox

True, I remember last summer here in Phx when it was like 110+ at the track. Every1's times were like .5+ sec off from normal. If your on juice it wont effect you much at all since sprat is at like -30 , your just gonna have more traction since it hotter out but if dont have the power to make use of it then summer blows to run a good ET.

hot air = less power. hot air is less dense and less fuel is mixed with it, resulting in fewer ponies to the tires. it works something like that.

my car with the WAI when its 75+ degrees out is SLOW, no pull below 3k and if i have 2 or 3 people its even worse, its so frustuating i just hate it.

will it better to go back to stock and loose the pull at the top end with the intake? is the difference in pull at the top end THAT good? i forogt since i have my intake on for about a year

Last summer my best summer ET was 16.1 @84 (pathetic )

Last winter my best ET was 15.5 @90

The only thing that changed was tires but since my car is an auto it made little diff on my 60ft time. With the new tires I pull 2.4 with the potenzas I pulled a 2.5
