I am hoping for high mph, but the humidity (estimated 95%) might hurt me. If I do run a 12.2, I would expect it to be around 114-115mph. However, I am thinking do weather/track prep I might only see 12.4-12.6 @ 112mph or so. You coming up?

Well, this will be my 5th or 6th time at the track. With just bolt-ons and street tires I ran 13.38 @ 105.8mph w/ 2.14 60'. Then I did homeported heads and the cam and used DR's. I then made one run (with the cam/homeported heads/dr's) right after a car split its oil pan in my lane! I ran a 13.88 @ 109mph w/2.3# 60' and kept spinning till 3rd gear.

OK, I will guesstimate a 12.8-13.2 your first run second run will be close to a solid 13 to 12.9

My boy!I hope your right John. The only problem is that its raining right now in Epping. It is going to be about 95% humid + traction might be bad. I am guessing 12.6, but we'll see.
