This was my first time to drag my/any car at a track. Pretty fun. 97+ degrees and super humid on this day so I'm very impressed that I was able to crack off a 13.9.

Anybody know if my trap would be affected by the heat/humidity? The car felt like it was bogging just a tiny bit during the 1-2 NLS.

I just feel like I should be trapping higher. 102ish+?

I only managed one run at 100mph, and that was one of my last runs in the day at 14.3 seconds (Not in the video).

Not bad. I was only able to crack off a 14.2 stock at the drag strip in Memphis, TN in July. This city has CRAZY humidity. 70%+ with 90* temps at night. =( With my HP Tune and CIA DP with cutout, I ran a 13.4 @106 on stock tires with a 2.2 60' in 80* temps last night.

 

the density of the air when the humidity is higher prevents the engine from operating at peak efficiency. a cold air intake will alleviate some of the problem but overcoming the dense air is very difficult. for higher trap speeds, wind 3rd and 4th gear a little higher before you shift.

 

def ride 3rd out til the finish, if you do hit the rev limiter it wont be for long and the car will be fine....im trapping 103's staying in 3rd all the way

 

what were ur 60's?

 

Good run. I need someone to teach me how to freaking launch...

How are you launching Oh Lordy? I'm struggling to get better then a 2.4 60ft. I've been running high 13's @ 108-110.
