Default 13.57... is this right?

Well, i have my mods listed below. At LACR which is 2700' above sea level, i hit 14.00 which equates to 13.57 at sea level. Should i be hitting that with the mods listed below?

In the winter at LACR, you'll drop about 2-3 tenths

When was this? I will be going there tonight (since I live less than 10 minutes from the track). Also during summer the DA is actually higher than the elevation, more like 4000' above sea level.

With everything in my sig at 3600feet elevation i have run a best of 13.40 at 102mph with a 1.92 60ft on BFG drag radials. Of course our track is really going down hill, its a dump to be honest and hooking up is only come by with slicks if that. I used to do 13.6's with -out the converter, Edit, Drag radials and i had 3.23 gears. I ran nearly 2.3 60fts and nearly 104 trap speeds. Of course this was in way cooler temps so i expect to see the true numbers next year when it opens again. Heads and cam cars are lucky to get 12.7's here where they would be in the 11's at other places. Most of the time the wind of the plains is straight in your face too. Just my long 2 cents.
