Hoping for a late summer 2005 resurrection at the moment.
Problem is it prefers leaded gas....meaning it needs Sunoco Ultra 94 AND a couple bottles of high Octne boost in each tank...quite a pricey beast, in my opinion

^^^^ah that's my point....as in ET time going down (plummiting)
I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the elevation at Raceway park is about 2300 ft above sea level.
I ran at Houston International during a Fun Ford Weekend and I was 4 tenths faster. Definitely a better track surface as I was in the low 2.0s 60ft versus high 2.1s in Edmonton. It was more or less the top end that I gained the most though. Mph went from mid 105s to 109s. (Vortech installed folks)
Now I've got a slow car....and I'm much happier with it.

I never said anything about the temperature because they were pretty much the same.
That same summer, I got on a plane in Jackson Mississipi, and arrived in Edmonton to HIGHER ambient temperatures. (Albeit the humidity was lower in Edmonton)
Hows the wheezing fourbanger coming Chadxton?
