Dana, I guess I owe you an apology, I saw an article posted on a fellow
dml'ers site with a magazine article on R/T 1/4 mi racing. Their first
runs were 15.1, like mine. They did get in the 14's by lowering the
tailgate and running 20 pounds of air in the Goodyears. I didn't realize
the tires weren't getting a bite, I even drive around the burnout box
because I didn't think it was necessary. Just wait 'till FEB when the
track opens again, no tailgate, no spare, barely any air, look out 14's.

90 degrees and 80 percent humidity!!!!!!!!!!!!I If you run in the 50 degree
weather you WILL be very suprised at the difference in times. I have noticed
this truck,(R/T) is EXTREMELY sensitive to heat and especially humidity. I
have time tickets from the same track with the same mods done showing a 4
tenth decrease in e.t. going from 80 degrees and 50 percent humidity to 52
degrees and 40 percent humidity. I know it seems like a lot but it is the
only difference. Humidity I think is the factor mostly though. Altitude is a
huge factor also, and I am at approximately sea level.
