colder denser air will help an NA combo almost all of the time.

It also helps a turbo car but there is one other factor he has to consider.
A 50 or below temp will kill his traction giving him a poor 60ft. Especially on a FWD car that I've never seen run on anything but street tires.

If I put in my new personal best from last night 8.100 @ 85.54 it puts me at a 12.64 @ 107. I have used that calculator before and it was almost perfect. Of course it can't factor in weather or track conditions but it was very close.

I cry everytime I punch in my timelsips with good 1/8 mile times (6.64 @ 104 for example) but I did not have enough converter / gear to make it past 900ft..
