i HOPE it is my A/F that made me run like POOP! I went to the track last night because it was the last time i could go for a month. So my best time is in the sig, and was BEFORE the headers. Now with the headers and the OR pipes, my A/F ratio is a pig rich 11.1:1! (on a side note, no BS, if youve been watching the weather channel, in florida its been raining everyday for a week, hence humid and last night it was 87%) but whatever. So i got my normal short, and my best run out of 2 was a 13.4@108! WTF happened!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> and this was the first time i took ALL the seats out!

Re: i HOPE it is my A/F that made me run like POOP! The weather plays a huge role. With air temps in the low 50s (DA -500ft) my average trap speed is 112mph with temps in the upper 80 to low 90 (DA 1500ft) my trap speed is 108 - 109. Density Altitude - the combined affects of air temp, barometric pressure, and humidity can make or break your ET / MPH. Look at the dates listed in the "1/4 mile ET List" at the top of this section. Most of the runs are made in the cool months.
No question your A/F ratio played a role. How much? Get it fixed and see how you do then. Maybe that will get your trap speed back up.
