Default going to track tonight, cold... est. time???

I am going to the track tonight for the first time after I installed the Direct-Flo lid and AFS bellows. before my best w/ only the FRA mod was a 13.600 @ 101.94 on a 2.052 60'. I am hoping for a 13.4 @ 103-104. Is that a good est.???? It should be about 68 tonight. also, what pressure should I run in my stock radial 16" tires?

it really doesnt matter what your psi is on stock tires, but id say 25psi, but it probably wont make a difference, good luck

well SNAXS, I would have ran that if I could hook but I could only get 2.1-2.2 60's last night. before when I ran 13.6's @ 101 it was on 2.0 60's. The weather was about 68 degress but there was still a good amount of humidity. that track was okay. I gained 2 mph from before when I didnt have the lid/bellows, and dropped a SOLID .10 off my ET. best last night was a 13.51 @ 103.61 w/ a 2.119 60'. the worst that night was a 13.8 @ 103 because there was some fluid that they missed, and I hit that and the tires just went up.... also came about a foot from hitting the wall with that back end. all and all, I ran 13.5 @ 103 all night.
it was cooler last night then my previous 13.6 @ 101 w/ a 2.0 60' runs, so I was spinning more last night, and it was way more humid last night. so I factor the lid gave me a good .10+ and 2 mph.
