Default went to the track

weather was bad but still ran the TBSS a few times. temp was around 85 with 86% humidity.

completely stock strait off the interstate with the engine temps in the 220 range
15.21@91 with a 2.39 60ft found out that i didn't get 93 when it was filled up last because it got some knock

I put a quick tune on it while waiting in the staging lanes not letting it cool any
14.6@95 with a 2.29 60ft. still had alot of knock

went and put 3 gallon of 104 in it to bring up the octane in the half tank and let it cool for a hour or so and changed the tuning some
14.3@97 with a 2.23 60ft

i thought it did pretty good to be completely stock with the crappy weather. in decent weather and some actual 93 it think its a high 13 sec awd truck.

That's a 13.9 down here on the coast if you ran at SAR. I was a good 4 tenths slower going from HRP to SAR...

Impressive! I thought 14.2 might have been a little ambitious, but I wasn't far off.

Did you richen it up a little or leave the fuel where it was?

That humidity and heat killed you.
When I took the TBSS out it was atleast 79*(probably hotter) but the humidity wasn't as bad... I could only muster a 14.1 for the 2WD.


But mines faster

I was just going over the logs and my IAT's were around 108-110 on the 14.3 run and was 118 on the 14.6 run, at the end of the track they cooled down to around 92. if the temps were only 60 out and the humidity was only 20%
