temp affect track times???
long story short i usually run 8.30-8.50's in the 1/8 2.2-2.3 60' with my FRC i have lg LT's no cats vortex intake ported tb and 180 therm. mph usually 89 those speeds and times were with nittos with outside temp around 70-75 degrees. i went today with new setup linelock, MT et street radials i was hoping for sum great times, anyway temp today was 98 degrees track temp was around 135 degrees and the best i could muster was a 8.0 at 88 mph with my best ever 60' 1.80. i have run 1.96 60' and ran a 8.11 so with my new 60' my et should have been lower 7.80-7.90 so i'am blaming the heat for my lost in et AM I RIGHT???

thanks guys that makes me fell a little better. i feel like with a better temp in 65-70 range i will hit my goal of 7's then it will be time to work my times down lower and lower! i plan on doing a ls6 intake, mgw shifter and looks like a new clutch which looks like that will be a harder decision than i thought any suggestions?
