you were dang close buddy! maybe Gary can chime in but I think the DA was close to zero around noon. my prediction was 9.48 with a 1.25-60'..... the 60' is what messed up mine coming true..lol
I tried everything from 19psi to 15 psi.. 17 is what was in for the two quick runs.
they are stock heads with the swirl bump ported out and I streamlined the intake guide... Shaved 030 and SS intake and exhaust valves

No one had a handheld weather station this year. I have personally seen DAs off by 600-700 feet when compared to Dragtimes. This is not to infer that the DA was at all bad this day; however, I recollect that it was t-shirt weather in the early afternoon. Without being able to substantiate my opinion, I can only hazard a guess that there may have been a DA that was several hundred feet worse than what would be reported on Dragtimes. (I usually log my passes on my DashDaq and look at the IAT which is usually 0-2 degrees higher than ambient air temp. One can then deduce the actual temp within a 1* accuracy. I made no logs this day.)
Do you know of any inexpensive handheld weather stations. I would like to purchase one without breaking the bank. Thanks.

I have the stock heads that I very mildly ported and stock intake that I mildly ported 243/257 cam. It has not been on a dyno yet... I tuned it at the track.

Kestrel makes a model 4250 that is in the $250 range.
Ranger recommended this one.

thanks guys!!!
the 1.22 surprised the heck out of me. I expected a 1.25..... luckily I backed it up with a 1.232 or I might have had difficulty believing it to be accurate.
I said in a post a few weeks back that there was a possibility to squeak into the 5s but it would definitely go 6.0s.
I couldn't be happier of how it ran.
Another big shout out to Rodney @rpm for the r&r help

He was still here as of last month. I removed my front sway bar. It does help, but not much unless you get stickier tires. Sticky tires are absolutely needed to get decent 60' times. I once ran 315-30-18 Michelin PS2s, and the best 60' I ever got was 1.99!! The sway bar was still on there then. They were 200 treadwear. You really need something with 100 treadwear, or less.......
