depends on weather and if Brian goes. I don't have slics or ET streets for my 91. Just Nitto's I don't need to change anything on my car from how I drive it every day.

since when is exhaust gas inert?
there is unburned fuel (HC or Hydrocarbons), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), etc.

i WISH exhaust was inert...then i wouldn't need to get my car smogged...

Sac Raceway has a notorious tailwind which can have a pretty big effect on ET/mph. steady 20 mph winds with 30 - 40 mph gusts are fairly common at sac and would negate any record speed runs in REAL competition. that's why they run both directions at Bonneville Salt Flats...it helps negate outside influences like wind, slope, etc...

i got a 122.4 mph pass at sac... i think it was wind-influenced and several mph off what i typically run (116 mph) which makes it suspicious to me...what i ran yesterday makes little difference to how i'll run tomorrow, or in 5 minutes from now...wanna race?

Since that's what they teach us in Smog school [Razz]

Due to the fact that the remaining HC and CO are not in the proper ratio to promote combustion, it is considered an inert gas. It is basically a "filler" used to reduce cylinder volume by taking up some on the room in the cylinder so less air and fuel will fill the cylinder.

After 11 years of being a smog tech, I have actually started to remember some of the sh*t I have been taught [patriot]

I was at the track when Aaron's car ran it's best ET/MPH to date. There was no tailwind & the air was warmer then it is now.
On that same night Heather's car ran a best of 12.22 @111.3mph with Drew & a best of 12.4 @110.8mph with me. I have since backed that up with 12.18 @111.9mph & Drew with a 12.08 @111.8mph with no other mods aside from tune.

Aaron's car pulls Heather's on the street every time. His car dynoed 25hp higher then hers on the same dyno on the same day. Considering this & the track times on the same day at the same track, his car ran what it should have....& I can't wait to see what it does next time out!
