That 8 is going to be harder than you think, trust me.

1,700ft but the DA was like 3,418ft and when we ran together it was 6,397ft in Abq. when i ran 9.97 so he was down 2,979ft from the last time we raced that's why he gained so much. corrected is a 9.36@148 at sea level.
Very nice Art get your shifting down and you will be one tough competitor.

I cant wait till I run should get about 153mph on the bottle but im going to run NA first and do my license passes I have everything I need for it and the bike is ready also.

i cleaned my filter and lubed my chain

and i finally got the rest of my bracts in today for the air shifter, and my new bottle brackets for the spray. I get a tune next Friday for the spray so i should be back down there on the 7th to get some more practice in i was also sitting at 63'' and it was powering up in 2 gear

I'm going to play with the maps on mine the map I was using in Abq. Was the same one we put in yours and you dropped 2 MPH so I’ll run about 3 runs then change it till I can get it on a Dyno.

Don't get hung up on the DA #s as it makes a difference but not like actual altitude changes. Many Pros that run in the 9 second range using weather stations and keeping accurate data in a single season only see like .01 for every 100ft. and only .10 mph change from density altitude changes.

Art did great and the ET is certainly inline with the actual altitude difference. The mph increase is quite high considering we've been down there on many occasions and never seen more than 2.5 mph increase and that takes in account that the DA was excellent the last time there compared to here. That's all I am saying.

All Art has to do is go to Texas and prove me wrong. Now of course he'll be cooking with the gas but I hope he runs NA a few times to see how it does. At least the weather will be remotely cool for this time of year but the humidity will probably suck ass.

And one last thing about sea level performance..................t raction.

I will run in Roswell this weekend NA with no changes from the last time I raced in Abq. Just to see what difference it makes and your right on the DA it’s never 100% Right. And I hope art does get traction down there and run an 8.?? that would be good I'll get an air shifter some day but I want to see how deep in the 9's I can get with the stock WB, foot shifting and NA.

not bad that MPH is crazy fast, if the wind was not there i bet you would have gone low 9.60s at 148ish
