Default cam only 12.2 in hot and humid weather

Well, what do you guys think? Check sig for mods. I was shooting for 11s but ran consistent 12.2-12.3 on a hot and humid day. It was in the 80s and very humid, even rained a little. Do you think this is good for what I have done? I think with some better weather I might be able to get in the 11s.

I think I was most excited when I saw the picture of my car launching and noticed I pulled one of my front tires off the ground. This was with stock rims, no skinnys. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was pretty hard to do that with stock rims? Needless to say I bought the picture.

Heres my best.
12.23 at 109 with a 1.71 60ft

Let me know what you guys think and maybe some opinions on what to do next. Right now I'm thinking 3.73s.

not bad et's in the hot weather... mine with 3.23's, 224 cam, 3600vig went 11.50@117 in awesome air.. norm was 11.7-9's in hot weather though

i would think you will have a solid 11sec car when the weather gets better though congrats

Thats what I was thinking. With the cam I have, I thought I would be in the 113-114 range. Anybody have any idea what could be hurting it?

You got some great times but its in your 60ft. 1.56 is damn good. I was happy with my 1.71. What kind of tires/wheels were you using? Mine are stock wheels with BFG drag radials. I was surprised they hooked as good as they did but with slicks my 60ft would go down. The time I got the wheel to come off the ground wasn't my best 60ft because they didn't hold, they started spinning so I had to launch a little lighter to get the 1.7s.
