When i first got my car i took it to my local 1/8th mile track and ran a consistant 8.1 @ 95 mph. This was with 20" nitto invos on the back with 1.9-1.8 60' times. The car has full exhust w/o cats, filters and tubes, and 3.55 gears. So last thursday i went back to the track with a set of 17" m/t drag radials. It was in the 90's and very humid. I put the air pressure to 20psi did a small 1st gear burnout and lunched around 3000 rpm. The car hooked good 1.7 60' and i ran a 7.8 @ 92 mph. I ran this time 3 times in row and had one run in wich i spun ( switched lanes) and i ran a 8.2.
I was hoping to be in the mid 7's. Could the heat and humidity caused a power loss last thursday or is that about as good s it will get without upping the power. Also could i launch harder or should i stick with the 3000 rpm launch.
Also what kind of power will i need to make to get into the high 6's. Thanks and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
