Believe me I am not saying he wont. He has run fast enough to show that. Just saying it aint the same up here as at sea level, but you now that. We have no barometer up here and that has a big affect on an NA car, but again you know that too
D/A in Vegas in the summer is often north of 6000'.

Thankxx 4 the heads up and he`s gonna need to be faster than high 10`s to get me but ya never know.
Thump.. Don't confuse strip times with potential on the street .. Hooking up on the street vs. the strip is an art in itself. That super bee launches harder than most strip cars, has a 4-link, reworked torqueflite. Another close friend that has a built 650HP wedge red Duster runs mid-9s, got beat by 2 car lengths. I have never seen a Mopar launch as hard it does, don't know what his 60' times are but I would estimate to be about 1.28.. Once he jumps out front there is no catching him..
Just my $0.03...
This has been eatin at me for days now so here goes; 1st, a high 10 522 on spray is embarrasing in my opinion, 2nd, the very best he can run on the street if all he has is hi-10`s is MAYBE 10`s if not 11`s, 3rd, hard to believe he`s turning 1.28 60`s and lastly on my worse run I`m in the low 10`s or better so let`s make this happen. Do you know this guy?

Hey Dom it is only 100 degrees and 33% humidity right now...Come on over the weather is awesome this time of year
Was raining and 105 at my house yesterday, but it is a dry heat
Thats when we started testing when I use to go out to Phoenix and Vegas working for Chrysler... I spent a month out there every year for a long time testing fuel systems and other component.. when I first started going out to Phoenix the humidity was 12%-13% till the people started putting in pools and all the irrigation in the fields.. last time out there it was 35%(this was the normal.. not during the rains).. seen a few cars get washed down the stream bottoms during monsoon season
