I ran a 2.5 60foot. That's why i'm saying my times could've been a lot better even back then...

If I was you I would wait till it gets colder if you want to get your best times. Ill be running my car one more time before I get the kit and its going to be when it's colder.

I typically only race in the spring or fall, sometimes in the winter too, since our track is only closed for 2 months. When i ran my best time supercharged on my teg it was 39 degrees outside ambient, with an altitude air density of -1440 feet perks of being below sea level.
