That is pretty easy to explain....the owner of that car dropped it off at JPC who did all the work including the driving. Cliff notes on the .09 difference in times:
1. They were running in 2,800' better DA with very low water grains.
2. Private track rental so they could prep as they wanted.
3. Questionable amount of weight that was pulled out of that car. JPC ran .1 quicker 60' times than anyone else has run in these cars using similar setups. Mid 1.4's vs. mid 1.5's.
That car ran 10's the one time. It hasn't run 10's since. In fact, when the owner got it back, running in similar air conditions that we run in, it runs 11.6's. JPC took that car to NMRA MIR using the CJ intake and couldn't get it in the 10's there. Something doesn't add up.
On our side, we have run 10's in every season at every major track in Texas.
We have proven the combo we are using works under varying conditions. Not just one time under phenomenal conditions. Hope that helps answer your question.

But as seeing what you have done keep on keeping on and I hope to see you at the fun ford event in Dallas as it would be a pleasure to meet someone with so much knowledge as yourself.

I believe FFW is this weekend at Ennis. Not going to be there. May be back in October depending on schedule.
