My auto ran a 15.3 in similar weather stock .. you have the intake.. so shave about .1 to .2 off your ET. with that heat, traction should be pretty shitty unless you lower your tire pressure. These engines ... hell, ANY engine, absolutely hates hot humid weather, as you know.
P.S. my trap time was a measly 91 mph .. i lost sooo much time peeling out ... i forgot to lower my tire pressure, so i never hooked up.
Most people accept the fact that you can shave about .4 to .5 seconds off your ET when comparing your hot, humid weather time to a 50 to 60 degree (fall weather) run...
