Well what can I say--- the car needs bigger tires now. 14.72@95.51 vs. previous best of 14.959@93.81. (14.44@97.405 MPH vs. 14.593@96.219 corrected) This day was 9 degrees F. cooler so I corrected the times http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php?elevationcorrect=1696&et=14.72&mph=95.51&correctetmph=Correct+ET+and+MPH and as you can see, there still is a nice gain. The gain could have been even more but when I drop the temp below aprox. 70c the car makes so much low-end torque that I lose traction, have to feather the throttle, and wind up running 15s (if I'm lucky). I have a hard enough time hooking up at 80c! I'm not going to start a new M-119 based thread on this mod like I planned until I can upgrade my rims and tires so that the full benefit of this mod can be properly documented. (I'm going to wear out my current tires first). I am going to try to get a friend to scan the timeslip and post it. Regards, Eric
