Reason I'm asking is because I left the heater on during a 12.0 pass at 113mph. I think that was my new best ET if I wouldn't have left it on. I had a 1.672 new best 60' too. One time my BF did that in his Z28 and lost .5 of a second... If that were the case, I think I could've definately run better than an 11.8 [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img]

i dotn think it makes a chit if its on or not...and the .5 slower from the heater being on is BS, something else went wrong before that caused it to run that much slower.....<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>

:rolleyes: ricer math this >>> [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img] The Z28 ran consistant 13.6's until the heater was left on...then it ran a 14.1. That's why I wondered if that could have affected my ET at all. I was told by other people at the track that it does.2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

The hot water is being circulated by the water pump anyway. So basically when you run the heater you are running a fan which doesn't take much juice to run. I highly doubt the heater being on makes any quantifiable difference in times.
Headlights draw a lot and I always have those on when I run since it is always at night. I doubt those slow me down.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat. Best Time: 9.909@71.58 (1/8 mile)
