Sounds good!  I can't wait to sample the cold air at the track.

As long as you don't lose traction, cold air is our best friend!

Oh yea, cold is turbo's friend. I ran a 13.53 last Sunday and it was in the high 50s. only mods are Airaid and the Unleashed 93 tune. I'm sure I can drop another tenth or so in the cold. I still have the 100 octane tune to try yet heh heh
Koolaid drinkin, Flex drivin !!

I'll take 45 degrees and a tail wind please!

On Saturday with a nasty headwind, I still went 13.459@101.72 and backed it up with a 13.443@101.47
Went back yesterday with a slight tailwind, and ran a 13.387@102.92 and a 13.39@102.77. I also had a new best MPH of 103.21 but ET was only 13.53 due to some wheelspin. I hope to get a 13.2x in November before our local track closes for the winter. I also blew the doors off of a 1998 Corvette, and against a 2011 Challenger with mods that ran 12.50's I made a pretty decent showing, enough to cause a guy with an un-modded Challenger that was running 13.50's to flat-out refuse to race me. I had people asking me all day what I had done to the Flex. Nobody believes I haven't touched the motor from the throttle body to the tailpipes. I beat up all weekend on Camaros, Mustangs and some old-school Muscle. Haven't had this much fun at the drags in a LONG time...

Yeah, I can testify that those winds were really bad.  I could actually feel them at 100 MPH.  It just wasn't pulling at the end.  I should have gone back Sunday and got my 12 slip.  I will be back there in a couple weeks.  I'll keep in touch!
