Default dropped 6 tenths off and gained 4mph

Saturday was the last day for Memphis Motorsports Park so decided to run the truck one last time. My previous best was a 13.9@99mph with a 2.1 60'. The only thing I have changed is I have lowered the truck more, had a 2/3 drop now has a 4/6 drop. Mods are in my signature. I was shocked with my first to runs.

first run
60'................2.088
330...............5.704
1/8................8.642
MPH...............83.62
1000..............11.198
1/4................13.360
MPH...............103.51

second run
60'................2.100
330...............5.699
1/8................8.634
MPH...............83.60
1000..............11.189
1/4................13.348
MPH...............103.80

If I can drop .6 & +4mph, I'm goin to a 4/6.
Very cool. Drop helped w/. aerodynamics, but cooler temps do too.

it was actually kind of hot saturday afternoon and i ran the 13.9 at 11:50 pm in late aug. So i would say that the air temps might have been around the same if not warmer last saturday.

Damn im going for a 6/10drop if thats the case.
Congrats on the new times!

Are you sure thats the only thing thats changed, same track, same tires/rims, no weight reduction?

Weather could be a good part of it but that is still a good improvement.
