Wow, 91 Octane sounds like a great combo. That could motivate me back to High compression.

60 degree temps is pretty darn cool.

Congrats!
If the time is correct on those slips you really don't give the car much rest if any in between runs. Have you tried making a pass with the engine cooler?

Car cools down pretty quick, and actually likes to be about 180 when launching, still a tad rich is y i'm guessing, plus it gets trans temp up some, conv seems to act better, looser with hotter fluid?
