Ran a new best tonight, in the most hot and humid conditions I've ever run in. There was fog, which anyone can tell you = 100% humidity or darn close to it. Temp during the day was 90 degrees, at the time of my best run it was probably 80 degrees.

14.413 @ 95.13 (yuck look at that trap speed)
60' 2.195
1/8th 9.270 @ 76.58 mph.

I don't have my timeslip with me it's out in the car so I can't list the incrementals.

It was a really bad day for drag racing, but I managed to pull a new best anyhow.

Race weight was 2926 (with me and 1/4 tank).

Nice time BTW

After the MEVI and JWT ECU spray the car. A JWT n2o program for the 100 shot with 370cc injectors would rock. With your weight that would be a 12 sec ride at the flip of some switches.

Wow...isn't that time amazing for only a Pop Charger and a Y-Pipe, even if he is a 5-spd?

With my car, WITH the MEVI, I was only pulling 16.2.....but I did have my 18" rims on and a couple of woofers in the trunk.

I'm hoping to do much better now with my new "Mod"



Anyway, GREAT time!

doubt it, the hood only lighten up things a bit. The hood sure didn't help me.

The CF hood is only about 27lbs lighter than stock, so its not much help. Not to mention one side sticks up a bit and catches a significant amount of air, increasing drag. I'd venture to say that it may hurt me as much on the high end as it helps on the low end.

My 14.46 was run in near perfect conditions, my latest 14.44, 14.47, and 14.41 have been in far worse conditions.

BTW VQdriver ran a 14.32 with the same mods as me. He pulled off a sick 60' time that I can only dream of. Something like 2.12.
