First, a little history... the car is a 100% bone stock 97' Buick Regal GS with about 117k on the clock. I ran the car back in early May and went 14.54 at 94.xx mph with absolutely no tuning, weight reduction, or modding whatsoever.

Back then, temps were in the low 70s or so with the humidity kinda high (DA was anywhere from 800 - 1100). Now, its late Oct, and the air temp this Sat is only supposed to reach the high 40s. With the air quality improved since the last outing, I'm thinking I could possibly beat the previous ET/mph.

Track prep will be as follows:
- front tires aired down to 22psi
- rears pumped up to 50psi
- TC & ABS fuse pulled
- 3/8 tank of gas

With the better air quality, think its possible to break my previous record? I'm planning on yanking the stock airbox and running open TB/MAF for a few runs to see how close I can get to 13s on the bone stock car.
 
Did you manually shift from 2nd to 3rd? It helps to get a couple hundred more rpms. Tim
