So why does my first run of the day appear so far off? I get the water temp to 140 driving around the pits. I stand on it pretty hard whenever possible while warming it up. I also jacked it up about 10 minutes beofoe its time to run and I run it to 160 on the jack stands, forward and reverse on the trans and hold the car on the trans brake at 4000 RPM for about 15 seconds?

It appears to be quicker everywhere except the 60 ft, so I’m thinking its just making more HP, but why?

Any ideas as to what may cause this?

Here are this week’s runs;

60ft 1/8 mile 1000 ¼ mile
