How much have you guys slowed down since we got this hot weather. The reason I ask is because the last time i went to the track it was about 70 degrees and i ran a 12.86 @ 110.8mph. Went this past weekend and it was aroung 87 degrees and my best was 13.16 @ 108.06mph. I lost 2.8 mph's. Is this about right with the weather change.

yep about average. You'll see around .10-.15 in e.t. for each 1000 foot of DA you move up or down. I usually slow down about 2 to 2-1/2 tenths every summer running in about 3000+ DA here in FL, as compared to the close to sea level or negative DA 
we get during the winter months while everyone else is dealing with the snow

Okay good. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my car. I went and gave my car a tuneup thinking it was the problem

Yea I think I am thru for the summer. I ported my throttle body. The car throttle responce felt alot quicker so I decided to go to Fayetteville Motorsports park in NC this past saturday to see what it will do. It was really hot and humid thoa but the car just felt strong. So finally after waiting 2 hours to run because their were so many cars there, I went a 13.25 @ 107.89mph. I went slower than before. Was really disappointed so did not run it any more. Don't really know if the ported throttle body helped or not being that the weather was worse than before. It is just a waist of time going to the track when the weather is like it is.

The last time I went to the track my car ran a best of 13.0@106 with a few 13.2s and 13.3s@104-105. My times were not consistent like usual and alot slower. It was about 100 degreesand humid as hell. It's normally below 80 when I go to the track.
