GTOGeorge,
Do you own or use a weather station? Temperature is only one of a number of elements used in calculating DA. Also at the same DA Grains of water also matters.

Stan, that's one of George's trap questions.... a LOT more information needed to give an accurate answer.

Trying to make it simple for the simple non-racers. I hate long post. I was in Kentucky 2 years ago running an 8.50 class in 100 degree temp I ran a 8.54.....next day temp was 87 degrees out i ran an 8.46 no other changes. Point being a weather changed and I picked up almost a .10. I didn’t lose 100 lbs I didn’t make any engine changes.....just weather. So when comparing HP levels in cars everything needs to be taken in consideration.
