Actually my best MPH at Irwindale is almost 91.

That was on street tires. I was down 3-5mph at CSW last time and almost 3mph last night. Except for humidity, atmospheric conditions were almost ideal last night, very cool and VERY high pressure, almost sea level. There are 3 things I did just before this fall off in mph.
Remove MAF screen
Put in heavy motor oil 15W/40
Put in heavier trans fluid mix of 80/90 and ATF

But it's hard to imagine the oil and trans fluid sucking up almost 5mph, that's quite a lot, so I think something else is going on.

LOL, with my combo after doing some research the car should be good for between 93 and 96 mph in the 1/8. California Speedway sucks and I can't drive FTL.

At this point I would usually make fun of Ford; you know, in good humor. However, Tiana has got an 8 second Fox so I'll keep it myself this time.

Guess you're the one with the killer instincts.


Here's a comparo of my best this time out vs. last time. Note I was on DRs this time and atmospheric conditions were better, yet only very marginally faster. My last two outings I've been well below expected performance. Something is up but everything feels and sounds fine. Wonder if its just the heavier oil and trans fluid???
