I figure by midnight it might be low 70's at best. Humidity out there in the farm land is usually around 35%, so the DA is gonna be like 2,000-2,500ft.

But as far as running, this will be the first time I'm running on fresh street tires, all the other times the tread was more than 50% worn and traction was limited. Also now that I have a mech 2nd rather than vacuum 2nd carb I have total throttle control, which should help peddling it outta the hole somewhat. The setup is basically the same, except I'm running a larger dual plane(RPM Air Gap) now rather than the low rise dual plane I had before. And I also now have a 650 mech 2nd carb with annular booster and 3 circuit metering, rather than my vacuum 570 Holley with a weaker metering circuit. I'm hoping to squeeze around 110mph out of it.

If I can get my 60's into the 2.0-2.1 range and pull 110mph it should go mid 12's based on how the car runs and reacts to 60's. I've found with my setup any change in the 60' tends to be a tad more than doubled as far as ET. Even at 107mph if I could get 2.0's it should run 12.70's.

Wish me luck....or skill, I'll take either.
