ColdAir = HP

my401 · 01-28-2004, 09:24 PM

Only thing I can figure? Cold air about mid 40s. Humidity around 45-55%. Made several runs tonite. I couldn't keep rear wheel hooked-up!!! Tried many different peddle tricks, esp on and esp off. ESP Off still cuts power during wheel spin. However I did run my second best time: but more speed .
12.7 @ 108.31. but my 60ft. time was not my best 1.930.
If needed I will post slip tomorrow.
Anyone got better????? Lately????

not ET is your best indicator of a power increase.

As you found out,the colder air brings traction issues.

With the colder air, the car does seem to pull better. I was at the track in October and at night it seemed to run better times because of the cooler air. Not under 13s yet, but hopefully soon.
