best run of the night was a 13.9 @ 101mph, followed by a 14.2 @ 99mph. this was happening as people all around me were pulling new bests
the car FEELS fine as far as i can tell, fuel filter was replaced about 6 months ago, spark plugs changed about 4 months ago.
what could be wrong? i'm hopefully going to have it on the dyno saturday morning so i guess that'll say for sure if there is a problem or not, but i already suspect there is

an extra .1 on the 60' often equals an extra .2 on the ET
what was your 1/8th time?
same tires with 9 months of wear since April?
street tires?(remember heating street tires is a waste of time and tire)
colder temps make for colder track and less traction
track prep plays a factor
there is probably nothing wrong, just had a less than perfect day at the track.
hell be happy you can get to a drag strip, here is what our local track looks like right now

I don't know if this is fact or just a story - but one individual told me once that when he opened up his cutout it put his car too lean and ran worse times than when it was closed. - dont know could just be malarkey!
Did you add weight (stereo equipment & Such) to the car after the 105mph runs.
That would worsen times.
