ok I went to the track temp was around 100 with a heat index of 110.

My clutch catches all the way up top and is not really possible to slip out.I have 95 chrome 10.5 cobra r's with 275's in the rear and tired my best to ease out of the hole reving to 1500-1800 rpm's nothing seemed to work,track was not gripping with the heat I guess.

I made 4 pass all right about the same time but my mph keep increase each run. I iced down the intake after each pass to get the temps down fast but most runs the temp was inbetween the O and R and after the run it was on M. My mods are 3.73's,flowpaths w/2.5 tails,shortbelt (no smog), u'd's stock intake with k&n.

here are my times:
2.3 60ft
9.6 @75
14.8 @ 95

Good numbers and you are right around where I'd expect you to be. I ran very similar MPH with almost the exact same mods (I ran a 14.6 at 94.89mph)! A really hot track tends to be "greasy" so that could have very well been some of your problems with traction. If you could have gotten your car down to just below the N or NORMAL you may have picked up .5-1mph more than you ran. Good luck and keep it up!
