Default Track Visit, Slight Improvements

I checked the DA and it was at 1350 ft, 73% humidity, 87 degrees, slight overcast. So it could've been worse, but I'm not complaining. My best run of the day was ........ 2.06 60', 8.66 at 83 Mph 1/8th, 13.36 at 105 Mph 1/4. I made 2 passes at 13.3X, both at 105. I want to address the trap speed though. Its very low imo, and I would love to know what would help remedy this short of spraying or FI. I'm highly, highly considering a NSR Thumper cam, maybe some LTs. I'm working on the vids right now, so they will be up asap. Luckily, my wife is kind enough to stand out in the heat on her day off to video my half-*** driving, lol. I made about 9 passes, with my average run being 13.5 at 105 on a 2.1 60'. Hopefully, with more practice and a nice 45 degree night, I'll get those high 12s.

For educational purposes, I had ZERO wheel hop with the new LCAs. I didn't have them on the last visit, and the car was experiencing major hop. The weather conditions were nearly identical on both visits, and I dropped 1 tenth in the 1/4, and 1.5 tenths in the 1.8th.

I'm sure you know some sticky tires will help out the E.T., but I say if you got the dough, try starting with the exhaust and see how that helps.
