The temp was about 90 at the time I ran.... I do have a traction problem. Did you have much wheel spin?

I'm not sure about your car w/ your mods - but with my last Viper (which had only 459 to the ground) I got in the 6's in Sealy on regular tires. I haven't taken this new one to the track yet but I do have over 300 more RWHP to work with.

Whats the elevation? I would think you should be running a tad faster.

That seems a little slow but then again it probably depends on your car. I ran that time with a lot less mods and don't think that my car is a ringer. Some are some aren't...
