My stock runs, so so conditions...slips inside.
I ran last night at the AID in Steele. The conditions weren't the best, as it was a hot day earlier, 87, and the humidity was very high.
The conditions during my best pass was around 72 degrees F, humidity around 87%. The track elevation is listed at 500'.
I should have been able to run a 13.8 on a few of the passes, but I was messing around with shift points, and shifted a bit early.
Excuses, my car felt like it was running worse than usual after a half a tank of BP 93 gas.
The timing lights eventually went out in the right lane for the 1/8, and the 1,000 ' has been out for some time.
My best pass was a 13.937, and most of them were 13.9's. My best m.p.h. was 100.97.
All in all I was satisfied, as the condtions weren't that great.
I am guessing that a run on a cool or cold day in October-November will get me down in the 13.5-13.6 area, with a trap of around 102. Speculation though, time will tell.
Here are the slips.
Oh yeah, to give you an idea of the conditions, there was a SS Camaro running around a 13.9@101, the fastest 99+ GT was ran a best of 14.611@95, and his was stock. He was still running better than a couple of GT guys with basic bolt ons. My friends brand new 04 Accord coupe 6 speed ran a best of 15.1@95, with bad launches. Could have run a 14.7 probably.

your atmospheric conditions equated to about 1500' DA. So when the weather gets to the mid to high 60's with less humidity you should be good for a couple tenths less. the weather you had is actually pretty decent for this time of year, it was like that here friday but i chewed up a synchro in the tranny. I keep a record of corrected times to see how my car responds to mods and different driving. right now i am looking for 12.8s when the weather gets better @ 104-5.

That's pretty much exactly what I ran on a hot humid day last year. This spring with 60F temps and nice high pressure I ran the times and traps in my sig. Your car should be good for at 13.6@102-103mph.
I am hoping to run a 13.6 stock like you said, when its cooler.
I launch at around 2500-3000 rpms, feathering for traction. I let it out pretty fast though, as I want a quick launch, not a clutch slipper.
I will be running again in a couple of weeks, and I'll post my times then.
