It's always going to be a problem. The engine bay stays hot nearly year round. its all driver too... new gts are running from high 13s to low 14s stock. thats with a 5spd. im guessing thats what that gt was, a 5spd. no way the car is that slow. next, these are contours... they werent made to drag race.. traction is always going to be a problem with front wheel drive. heat does hurt ets.. ive been at the track a couple weeks back when it was 101 degrees out. everyone i talked to said on average they were 3 tenths slower that day then a cooler day. 99 svt contour -its fast. period. 91 mustang gt -its faster. period. 86 Buick Grand National - its way faster, double period!

I wound up running a 15.516 @ 90.21 mph. Not too bad considering my car is supposed to do like 15.2 stock. All I have is cat-back, and K&N. BTW... where do you put the bags of ice before you run??? I mean after you take them off of your manifold, do you put them in your trunk???
