Still can't break 9sec in the 1/8

Raced at Barona today. I think temp and elevation played a factor. It was 95 and the elevation is 1600'. At that elevation I am loosing about 15-16 hp. Here is my best run

R/T .943
60' 2.158
1/8 mile 9.328
MPH 77.304

The BFG KDWs seemed to hook better than the Nitto 450 extremes

If this correct my corrected sea level time is around 8.834. Yesterday with a temp of around 94-95 and the elevation at 1600 ft. The density altitude was 4300' Corrected time would be 9.328x.9471 (corrected elevation)=8.834

that's not bad, for the mods you have listed...one thing I've found out in racing though, the faster you get, the more expensive it is to drop a few more ticks

The only other performance mods I plan on getting is a CAI and maybe a stop hop kit. The other thing that may have affected my times was the water box. My understanding is if you using street radials, drive around the waterbox. At this track the entire width of the staging lane is sprayed.

I may go to Qualcomm since it is closer than Barona. Last time at the Q I was running low 10s to high 9s. At that track, I will be happy with mid to low 9s.
