Are all of these dates those short, straight races, or will the track have some turns?

I believe CA Speedway has a course inside the oval track. I am just not sure if it's open to public racing. Anyway, if there are C32s going, I am in. I might just take my MR2 Turbo this time just for kicks.

yes, they do have a track inside the oval, and depending on the event/club, sometimes they use part of the oval!!!
I think the next event with the track is speedtrialusa, not sure if the oval will be used...

Here's my time slip from this morning.
Outside temp. was about 82 degrees w/ high wind.
My 60' times were really bad
Had a really hard time hooking up after ODPS.
I'll probably need to invest into some drag radial tires to improve my 60' and 1/4mile times.

Good run(s)
I am using an auto speed calculator and computing HP vs 1/4mile top speed. Looks like as a "rough cut" your ODPS installation added about 30 HP at the rear wheels. This assumes your car and the conditions were similar between the Dec and Jan runs you made. That is a just a guess, but I believe that is true.
Note that seemingly C32 is a little difficult to get an exact HP read on from a calculator and 1/4 mile runs because it appears to make less HP in the first gears and then more HP towards the end of the run. This is probably the SC being disabled and then kicking in at 1500RPM and then being at full boil in third (and fourth). For example the calculator says that if you run a
8.7 1/8 then you will be about 13.8 for the 1/4, ... the C32 will do better than that!
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, approx. 30 HP improvement is shown by the improvement in time and speed.
Good stuff, and congratulations!

the condition in Dec was much better. it was like mid to high 60s degree w/ no wind. yesterday was terrible. it was hot and windy.
i'll be going back on 2/15 to work on my 60' time.
hopefully it will be nice and cool that day.
i already have a few things in mind that i would like to try.
one of them is to launch w/ traction control on and see what kinda results i will get.

Anyway I think your 30whp is about right.
