I actually didn't clarify how I said that earlier about my car liking cold temps.
My car runs hard when the engine itself has cooled way off. 140ish. It doesn't like to be at 180. And in Summer it hates 200, which is why I went with a 160 stat.
But I agree that track surface temps can hinder traction, I don't think it will much with my car with new slicks unless the prep is horrible.

what I like-you'll enjoy the lower debris these throw off vs DR-less cleanup time.

I did notice less debris. Also had clumps of rubber stuck to them.

Get yourself a new 1.5" paint scraper-it will get the deep stuck rocks out of the tread.
enjoy.

Ill start doing that. Thanks for the tip!

Ok trackman! Your running a 1.459 60ft. With stoack gears, stock suspension, stock stall, 28x10x17 tires, a heavy car, in bad elevation and bad da am i correct. If you came down here i think you could run in the 1.2s with your animal. Lol. Just think if you had 15's coilovers and a stall you could be the first sub 1.0 car. Lol. Im going to give this bitch i have all i can and we will see what it will do.

Stick an extra 1 on the front of that and that's my dream! 11.39!! Don't know if it's possible tho.

Not to say it can't run quicker but my 11.52 1/4 mile was a 7.32 in the 1/8 mile. I'm sure you can run quicker in better weather though!

These are all hypotheticals Terry. The 11.39 is a slim chance wish pass. The only differences in our 1/8th passes is my 60ft is quicker but your car is passing me at the 330 mark. I'm thinking the negative air is helping some as you start to accelerate thru the gears, which is why my 1/8th ET is a tad slower, but even in 530+ DA I'm making up ground in mph.
That should get better as well with better DA.

So we are just going roughly by the 1/8th mile conversion from 7.35 1/8th to estimate 11.47 1/4 mile. If that conversion is even .1 close, then the extra 1300 ft will make it up.
So I'm hoping that it works out.
