Good thread I'm waiting to see how mine effects once I get a chance to make it to the track. Good point about the "loss in E.T." I was thinking the same thing Scottyballs was.

A loss in 1/4 mile time to me would still be +e.t. a gain to me would be -e.t. kinda *** backwards but but it sounds right

I dropped a little over .4 on my et but lost 2mphTthe weather was worse today.I heard someone say the altitude was around 5200 feet today.And almost all the people I talked to was running slower than last time.So I think I could of dropped more tenths if the weather condition was the same as last time I ran,and I think that was why my mph was down.Btw my car is completly stock besides 3500 and some hoosier QTP's
