    Hot humid air has less O2 content. Since your car sucks in the same volume of air, there is less O2 for combustion, thus less power.

    buh_buh ran almost a second slower down the 1/4 mile Friday night, so I'd say it has a HUGE effect on performance.

    For $16 ap pair I guess it's worth a try.
    It doesn't exactly say if it is made of iridium or the size of the tip...

    that makes me feel good about the 14.7 in the stealth then. Does anyone think that on a cool night it would be capable of being in the 13's then?

    Yeah, first couple runs were about 16.2, I couldn't even break into the 15's all night, even though I felt as though I'd driven the best I'd ever driven.

    My car feels slower too! Extra slow since the A/C is cranked all the way up!
