Ever ran the same ET 4 times in one day

Talk about consistency...went out a did a little bracket racing this past weekend....and thanks to a wonderful 6400 da i could only pull some mid 14s N/A, however i did manage to run 14.58 4 times throughout the day, and also clench 2nd place in my class!!!

TIME TRAILS
14.581
14.584
14.612

Eliminations
14.582
14.585
14.544
14.491

and after alot of cool down time, and better night time air..

14.294....this was the final round, lost due to breakout...even tho i dialed in 14.35, trying to compensate for the better air/cooler engine temps.

This car has always been consistent, but this pushes it to a new level

most LT1s here run high 14s, so im actually not slow...i am the only LT1 w/ having major mods to run a 13 locally. 6400 DA doesnt help either. hell, all i have is CAI, 1LE Elbow, Cutout, 3.42s....i have found my hypertech tuning doesnt help ****, so i never installed it for these track passes....

I cant even correct my times to se level altitude bcuz the correction charts I have dont even go up to 6400...highest i found is 5500....and correcting my ETs with that, my 14.29 pass would be a 13.3 at sea level...so the car is not slow for what i have done to it...i am actually very proud of it.....another LT1 M6 w/ 3.73s, headers, and minor bolt ons was running 14.6s all day, so i am happy!
