here's the intro:
last winter, i ran my car at the speedway and my best time was 15.2. i had the rrm non i/c t28 (7psi)with their crank pulley and intake manifold, a 2.5 in exhaust and stock rims with some neogens.
the problem:
i ran last night with a mishimito intercooler/ custom i/c piping, greddy ebc (7.5psi), test pipe, stage 4 clutch with a 12lb fidanza flywheel, custom 2.5 in down pipe, heat wrap from J-pipe to exhaust pipe and 17 in motegi rims that apparently weighs around 6lbs heavier than my stocks (each) but had tires that were wider for grip . why was i running mid 15s all night? my old setup ran consistent low 15s..
its was also hot last night, the weather was probably around 90 degrees compared to las winter's 45 degrees.. any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Its slightly obvious that cold air is denser then hot air , meaning the turbo can pack more useful air into a tighter space and make more power .....
it is the weather 100% , anyone that runs will tell you this and its correct
