Default 1/4 mile time difference?

i have a 2000 ITR with just an Injen Cold Air intake. I ran a 15.0@95mph. But last year i had the cold air, cat-back apexi N1 and h&r race springs with koni shocks. That set up ran a 14.6 @ 94mph.

Now that the car is at stock height again, can i run any better than a 15.0. Need info. Must i need to lower the car again to get better times. and it's weird cause i'm running a better mph with out an exhaust.

Let's isolate the variables here.... air temp, track prep, launch rpm, etc. will all effect your elapsed times. I don't suppose you're keeping track of all your passes in a logbook, are you?

most of my runs last year (14.6) were running 2.2 60ft's and running 94mph or less

and the runs this year were 2.4 and 2.6 60ft's

now both years i'm running the same tires at the same psi and launching exactly the same also. but i guess it all depends on how the track is prepped also.

is this a respectable time at 3000ft elevation? what would my times be at sea level?

if you run a 14.6 at 3000' you'll be right around 14.2 at sea level
