if your spinning tires even after the 60', its going to hurt mph. you may not be spinning the tires enough to feel it during the run, but slippage adds up. but like said before, conditions can effect 1-3mph depending.

remember, not every track day is going to be the "best"

It does feel notably faster especially after the CBE upgrade that's for sure. As far as better road, that's just how Guam is. There are few roads that are black Tarmac here...

You picked up about 1.5 MPH from stock, which, given your weather conditions, is probably average.
The CBE average dyno gains are posted on the Ark group bu area. Dyno proven to increase whp by 20whp.

True and I understand that weather does affect it alot but I should be able to see gains somewhere. I'm trying to upload my best run last night so you guys can see how terrible the track is and how bad I'm spinning as their are two different surfaces on the track.

So here's my best run last night. That annoying sound In the background is not my car but an 12 sec atv quad.



Please let me know your opinion.... I have a feeling everyone will say just get slicks or dr's and run the same mods again which I will be doing...
