Solid run for the DA. Some better weather and you'll hit 80 mph and sub 8.5's I think.

Yeah I was running low 7's....The AI setup is very nice and puts down the #'s...

The track elevation is around 680' but with the weather conditions it was like we were racing at 2100'....which is not really good if your going for personal bests.

That seems really slow to me. I would hope my car can beat that and I have the same mods.

The DA wouldn't change it too much either. Is that on street tires?

The times are decent for the mods, but with a DA of 2100ft., thats decent air, i would think you should be alittle quicker with those 1.8 60fts., but by looking at the MPH of 77, IMO it should be better also for the mods you have, don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking your times "AT ALL", but you did mention it was having a problem stalling, tells me theres a problem & would explain why it didn't run faster, DA plays a HUGE roll in ETs & MPH, our DA around here for the most part is around 3000ft. in the summer, we have had it as high as 4000+ in the summer, i ran a best of 8.81 in the 1/8 @ 2900ft DA on a 2.00 60ft., best MPH was 81, so get to going over some things like fuel pressure & such, there is more in your car, but you did good otherwize.
