Default Hot and humid affects us this much?

a month ago i ran a 13.98 at BMP...lastnight i was struggling to pull a 14.8...only thing i can come up with is lastnight was hotter and more humid.. i have the stock sidemount and all, basically totally stock...would i lose a whole second over this..i can see losing a couple tenths, but a whole second is just crazy IMO.

i also datalogged a run, my o2's were flat, so im pretty sure the sensor is bad, but my friend told me it didnt matter at WOT because its a different fuel map for DSM's, but main Q, does heat/humidity make this big of a difference?

but hot humid air can make a side mount intercooler just that less efficient which in turn will cause the car to knock that much more and have the ecu pull that much more timing.

Its much more the heat you need to worry about than the humidity.

I want to get one of those CO2 intercooler sprayers... a lot cheaper than a front mount.
