That is a very nice performance improvement !

As per your date and time, Wunderground shows 60 degrees, 30.16 bar & 21.6 dewpoint on your first run in February in which you managed 109.20 mph.

Your second run in June was in the 80's with a 30.09 bar & 69.9 dewpoint..... "huge" difference in air quality.....

I haven't run my simulation on this, but I don't have too.... if you ran in the same air as the first pass with your new set-up, you would have hit 113 mph and maybe even 114 mph based upon your 110.9.... I think when it starts to cool down this fall, you'll see these traps easily. When all is said and done, I think you will find you have picked up around 4-5 mph with your latest round of modifications.

Naturally, a better et will come with improved 60's.....

Congrats on your new found performance !

Thanks for the compliment BeachBum! I didn't blow a head gasket or anything so I guess I did it right this time.

I could tell the car had more power just in the way it felt. It's never been that sloppy off the line like it was yesterday. Well, maybe my first run ever on street tires...
I don't count that one though. Not sure how much was lack of prep or the improvement in the car but I know I'm looking forward to a better day down there and also a dyno pull or two.

Loosen up that converter another 600-800 rpm and you'll see mid 11's in my opinion.

Good Luck !!
