Poor Track Times, but I'll Post Videos Anyways

I think running extremely rich all winter has killed my spark plugs. I ordered a new set yesterday off eBay for $9/each they were delivered yesterday and will be installed next week. Sometime next week they'll go in and hopefully my times will improve because last night SUCKED.

Given the temps, high humidity and low barometer I'd say you could "correct" last year's 13.3 to a 13.5 or so. Also, that 13.3 run had a 2.0 60' time whereas last night that traction wasn't available due to all the recent rain. About two tenths were lost at launch, giving a 13.7 or 13.8 in my book. Possible or no?

Yeah the conditions sucked ass. But my car feels sluggish. We'll see how things turn out next time.

Don't worry Steve, It'll get better. Hope your night went a little smoother after you finished your runs.

The E-managed will be installed when the IC goes on. I'm waiting on a few parts from Summit Racing

Well considering given better track conditions, 5 degrees cooler, and fresh spark plugs I ran 13.30 @ 108 MPH, and made 295whp on the dyno in 70 degree weather...

I am expecting 335whp and a high 12 second pass at 11x.xx MPH

I already have the stuff, just haven't installed it yet. Scalbert gained 50whp, with the auto I should be around 30whp more.
