I would surmise that the drop in temperature lead to a colder track and less traction, looking at your 60ft times.


That and the humidity rose 17%

DA is density altitude. the lower, the better... its basically just how dense the air is that day, at that location.

edit: and the reason you were getting slower is most likely due to the change in humidity, 40 min between runs is enough cool down time if you have your hood open.

Im in the same boat as you man my best pass is almost identical
60ft 2.0902
330 5.6960
1/8 8.6122 @ 84.99
1000ft 11.1181
1/4 13.2578 @ 105.53


Im getting a ASP UD pulley today from one of my buddies and am going to order a FTRA this week and try for a 12
When I made the 13.2 pass is was around 80* and at least 80-90% humidity, yea its humid as **** down here
Then if that doesnt work Im hittin it with the 100 or 125 shot

Get a stall you will run 12's...I ran 13.2-13.4 on the stock converter..Ran again when i put a TCI3500 converter in, and it went 12.80's and gained 2-3mph..60ft was a constant 1.9..My street tires suck..This is also in 90 degree weather and very humid..Traps went from 105-106 to 108-109
btw i also have 3.23's

I ran a 13.1 at 111.5. my mph was there but with crappy bald kuhmo street tires and my 4.10s i couldnt even bog the car down to get traction off of the line.
yea that jeep was sweet. it sounded pretty mean goin down the track too.



Yes i was just there, first time out at a Drag Track with my car. What were your times?
There was a chick there in a Jeep SRT8 running 11s.[/QUOTE]

I made the mistake of guessing the trap speed around where I was at 13 flat. My 13.3-13.4 passes were around 105 too.

My last time I ran 13 flat I was so bent on breaking 12's I almost went sideways at the launch.

I was staged next to a younger lady in a foxbody who was wearing a helmet. The car had a nice cam with a sick lope.

She was half way down the track when I finally pedaled it back in line. Needless to say I didn't stop for my print out ;P

I have older street tires. Not quite bald but the tread isn't that great. Every pass I make they seem to get slicker and hook less. 1st pass is wheel hop, second is hop and spin, 3rd pass is usually a nightmare.

I haven't made a pass yet with the stall. I always have bowling leagues on the T&T nights =(

You'll get it soon!
