Default Track Times

Well I had my SRT8 out at Bandimere Drag strip today. It is my first time on the track but a few things really stood out. Number one, the CAI and Diablo makes a big difference. Number 2, you better be a good driver if you want to beat my automatic with your six-speed.
First, I raced a driver with a bone stock SRT8 and my CAI and Diablo combo combined to cut 0.6 seconds off. He had an auto also so it was a pretty good comparison. I smoked him.
Second, the guys with the six-speeds were spinning tires and getting bad times. They have a low rear end and I think it is too much torque unless you are a really good driver.
Finally, I am a bit bummed out. I did not break 100 mph. I know I am at about 5600 ft altitude at Bandimere here in Denver, but I know I can do it if I get a good start.
The specs: ET 14.379, 99.53 mph ( I won't post the R/T it was not pretty)

Anyone else have track tales?
