ford number 1 Donating Members 602 Member For: 20y 8m 29d Gender: Male Location: N/W Sydney Posted 15/03/06 10:45 AM Share Posted 15/03/06 10:45 AM I went to WSID tonight to race.Before I ring the tuner and ask ?'s I was wondering how much humidity affects the performance of turbo's.My best 60' was 2.29(not too good),my best mph was 101.34 with a time of 14.005..the humidity on my best run was 91% and was as high as 98% on my last run of 14.1..I want to drive to melbourne now and get it tuned by the guys who can back up with the times(HPF & NIZPRO)..Any advice would be good as the humidity and slow 60' is what I can think of..My mate who has 25rwkw more than me was slower than me and could only get 100mph.
