1/4 time blues :(

Went to the track last night and ran slower than i did last year! The track was really slippery and my 60ft times were 2.25-2.4
My best time last year was 13.4 @ 107mph... and a 60ft time of 2.0. Sine then, i added 1.6 roller rockers, slp runners and i ported the intake base to the runners and the plentum to the shape of the slp runnerss. My best last night was 2.25 60 ft time, 13.5
@106mph After the new mods i figured i would shave at least 2tenths off my time. I realize barometric psi and track temp. and how well the track hooks play a big part although i have no idea why my times have not improved? On the brighter side of things, I ran into two mustangs! One dude was really cool! ATI 14lbs of boost and ran low 11's but he could not hook up even with drag slicks. He ran a 18. Then i Raced a real Jerk! You know, one of those mustang guyz who think their type of cars are so much better than ours....RIGHT. Anyway, I blew his freakin doors off :, I must have been a good 200 - 400 feet infront of him at the finish line! He ran a 15.2, i ran a 13.5. A little competition is good but when you become an *** just because of the car you do or do not drive......It's time for a reality check!

What was the weather like? If it was humid your car is likly to preform worse than what it would on a nice clear cool night.
