Ehh, some specifics on your car would help. Is this an M6 or an auto? I'm assuming you had a crappy 60' with your posted trap speed for that 14.1 sec. @ 103mph run. Most people can run dang near perfect times in autos, so i'm assuming it's an M6. In that case if you get the same 60' i'd say you run a mid to high 13 sec. pass at 105mph. You're not gonna shave off a full second unless the driver is put into the equation. I suck at driving, and make up for it by pumping up the power (Can't practice at the track I go to, it's only open once a month, and I can only get in 2 runs).

If you can practice at the track I have no doubt that you will run a low to mid 13 sec. pass. You just need a good 10 runs to see what works best with the track prep that you have.

Well there is an altitude correction factor that you would use. I'd say you are right on for what mods your car has. With that high of density altitude your car is going to be choking to death constantly.
