Absolutely tx summers are the worst time to hit the track... Especially in his neck of the woods. Our fabricator at the shop is from there, said he would come to the metroplex and have to add over 10% to his entire be table to get it to even run worth a damn. Said he would pick up .3-.4 in et also!! Damn boosted cars haha

DA in Abilene TODAY was 4663 @ 3:45PM. That's definitely pretty shitty. I still figured it would run quicker as well. No insult.....

Sweeet! Good numbers

One more thing to keep in mind is this is a procharger car with a air to air intercooler. So if you think, 100* out side temp, inter cooler after the burn out is 120-130* By the time you finish the race your at 140ish to 150ish IAT. Killing 3-5 degrees of timing worth 100+ rwhp. For all you air to water cars you don't have it quite as bad at the track. Procharger cars are much happier from a roll where air is running across the inter cooler,

Why buy a Procharger kit dynoing at 600hp then if you only see 500hp at a drag race track?

The kenne bell, and whipple cars will have less issue with the IAT since they are Air to water (takes more time to heat the water). With the air to water (kenne bell/whipple) they will not run as cool on the street like the Air to Air a procharger has. This is why you see a lot of turbo cars with Air to air if they are street cars but the race car Prochargers/Turbos run air to water with big coolers to pack ice in.

Prochargers will not see this much heat once the crazy 100*+ days are gone. Right not it does not take much time to heat up. Dare I say E-85 make a BIG Diffrence!!!!

Because not every person that buys a procharger, is going to drag race it.

Why do most people assume just because you are modifying your car that you are going to drag race it?

2 out of 3 Procharged cars I know of drag race hence why I asked the question. Where do Vortech/Paxton's fit as you posted examples of Procharger, KB, etc?

They will have same issue as long as they have air to air intecoolers. Most of these heat issue will disappear once we get back to 70-80* track nights

Just to shed some more light.
We got the Boss in October of 2013, I researched every possible power adder for months. I also called every shop I could find in Texas. Alot of research went into my decision of what to do to the car.
One of the main goals was to keep the car very streetable and where it would run on 93 octane fuel. My wife and I love driving the car.
I talked to Clint several times before we even committed to them to mod our Boss. (I'm sure he thought I was just another tire kicker, at first).
Well, after we got the mods done I got curious of what the car would run. You know what happens next.... It became an addiction, I became fixated on beating a couple of cars and a number that I wanted to get my car down to. That's why we went the direction we did. I'm sure had I told Clint up front that it was going to be a track car we would have looked at other options that might have been more suitable.
Me personally, I like the procharger, the car drives and handles great, I like the power curve and how it comes on. We have made several trips from Abilene to McKinney (250 miles approx) and it's a blast.....
Anyway, didn't mean to get off topic, just wanted to make it clear why we went the direction we did. And I'm sure the car will run better once the temps cool down.....
But by the time it cools down archery season will be here so the car will probably feel neglected for awhile..... lol.
