1910' is GOOD WEATHER!

I'd say 3-4 tenths and 3-4 mph, from experience, not formula.

I'd say somewhere around 11.31 to 11.25 going by the 1000 ft = 1 tenth rule. Either way, quick times! I'll second the opinion, 1910+ DA is kicking air for summer! We're getting 3000+ DA and above in muggy FL now

Can't wait for fall/winter again!

I agree this is good air for the summer but most of the record guys run in NEGATIVE 1300 to NEGATIVE 1500FT DA's.

I wonder what my 11.51 corrects out to that kind of DA

KP,what gear,verter are u gonna run with your el cheapo setup.
I might go N20 real soon....

11.51 @ 1900' corrected down to -1300' would be ~11.05..

The TP4200 I have was made for a 400 inch solid roller motor so its pretty tight, it worked out well with the blower/nitrous - unfortunately it isnt working very well n/a with a stock cube motor. It dynod 400 unlocked this morning and ran 7.66 @ 93 with a pretty bad 1.750 60' at ~3800' DA today through the exhaust @ 3400lbs. Car hooks fine but the converter is only flashing to 3600rpm in 1st so I think it will work fine with a 150-200 shot

I'll stay with the 3.70 and 27" inch tire, I have some 28" tires if i need a little more.

if you got the data you can use this. I wrote it a couple years ago, it uses the NHRA correction tables. I make no claims to any kind of accuracy .

Not ALL record guys run in negative DA.

NONE of my records were in negative DA.

Agree with kp.....I get an 11.21 @ 121 MPH.

JZ..."actual" barometric pressure is the pressure at your location with no correction factor applied. IE....what the barometer reads right here and now (wherever here and now is). It differs from what you typically see on the net or on TV. That is "sea level pressure" or "altimeter setting", which is your station pressure corrected to what it would be at sea level. This is necessary for weather geeks and pilots in order to give them a constant frame of reference (in this case, sea level). Otherwise, high elevations (think Denver) would always show very very low pressure, while low elevations (where you are) would always show high pressure.

Sorry for the quick hijack

The 60' is killing me Josh, this converter was made for a big inch motor and it just dies for the 1st 50', trying the nitrous out friday (just a 100 shot) but will probably be getting the converter loosened up a few hundred rpm regardless, dont want it to be a total turd n/a

I think 01-Z's car weighs just a little under 3600lbs..
