Not very happy....I LOST!!!
I raced a new 2004 Mach 1 last night with a few mods, (chip, underdrive pullies, exhaust & drag radial) & I lost by a fender three times. I will say that it was hot, about 85 degrees @ 10:00 at night but I still think I should have pulled this race off.
Race 1: On the first race I was a little confused on the go and I got behind a car length but I got it back quickly and maybe even pulled out to a 1/2 car length lead but the Mach realed me in the last couple seconds and won by a fender.
Race 2: Pulled out to a 2 length lead but I didn't have anything left on the top & he won by a fender again.
Race 3: I spun, never caught up...lost by 1 1/2.
I noticed that my truck ran good the first time, but after that it didn't run quite as good...probably due to the heat and humidity.
Also, I have some headers and high flow cats on order, this should help put me over the top... right?....Along with some cooler air. I was thinking that the headers should help me out on the top end a little and stop letting these cars real me in.
Give me your opinions on all this guys, I would love to hear it!

That sounds about right. Stock Machs run low to mid 13's. With mods they are mid 12's. You run probably high 12's and the heat didnt help you. How long a race did you run? Since you where on the street, was it a measured quarter? If it was more than a quarter, your chances decrease from there also.
