Well technically it was 50hp loss from my best run which was the 3rd run after cooling car to my worst run which was done right after the first run after the car had been running for several minutes on dyno. Do you remember what kind of weather temps you dynoed in to get the 429whp number? And what kind of weather did you do the 1/4 in that you trapped 114?

Have you ran the car in hot weather with your current mods, and then also in cool weather? And what were your traps and the temps for the runs? You seem to have almost identical power to my dyno with almost identical mods so I am curious what kind of difference was seen.

Gotcha, well that is still a good difference if you were to be at the track in the 60s instead of high 80s. Not sure how many times you have been but what is the average traps you do or best ever? Oh and do you go on street tires or have a drag setup?

I've always gone on street tires. Two times, one stock and the other with my mods. Stock I ran a 12.5@114mph and modded I ran the same 12.5 but at 118mph spinning tires all the way to 60+mph. I eventually called it quits and decided to stop trying until I can get a setup that'll stick. I know my car is capable of 120mph traps if I could just get the power to the ground.

Yeah, it was real hard to try and keep it from spinning to much then even with esp off it would kick in sometimes, should have put it in dyno mode and tried it like that once or twice so at least if it started spinning to much it wouldn't cut power so I could just control it some with the pedal. I am sure maybe some better soft grippy tires would help but I figured it wasn't worth it since they would only last a few months and get burned off so it has some General Exclaim UHP 275/30/19 on it right now that are brand new.
