do these track times seem right??

on a 60 degree day i ran a 14.2 on average and on an 80 degree with high humidity i ran a 14.5 on average. the thing is, i fixed my leaking convertor by replacing the convertor with a three inch pipe and i also added the slp cold air intake. i don't see how i can lose this much time on the hot day vs the cold day when i added these mods. however, the car was running a little hot on the warmer day. also, my mph on the cold day were around 98 and on the hot day there were around 94 to 95. some thing doesn't seem right to me. any suggestions??

.3 sec seems a logical amount of loss that can be attributed to air conditions.

were you having more problems hooking? that would affect it.

i ran my 96 z28 with a handfull of bolt ons and the weather was near 90 and HUMID...i was running about a 14.2 near sealevel...i know i should have been in the high 13's...but with bad traction (2.3-2.5 sixty foots) combined with bad conditions i couldn't do anything close to that.

i wouldn't worry about it. check all your basic parts, plugs, wires, etc...to make sure it wasn't a small problem slwoing you down
