I think I remember blades saying he ran 12.8 in a stock A/T on his first run.

EDIT:My bad, just pulled this from his sig: Best 1/4 mile time: 12.986 s @ 107.46 mph - Stock

I dont understand how is it possible to do a 12.8 stock. My results were in the 13.49-13.6 consistantly.

Is it the weather, elevation, the larger tires, or weight reductions (removal of car parts), or a combination of all the above??

Weather was perfect, around 40-50*, and definitely makes a difference. When I ran in the summer heat, I was in the same 13.5-13.6 range as you while stock. After adding an exhaust that improved to 13.4 and MPH went up by like 2. That was when the temps were a little over 100*.

Track elevation is 320 ft, not sure what it was where you ran it or how much of a difference it would make. I didn't have bigger tires, didn't adjust air pressure, and didn't even take out the spare. I was running low 13's all that day.
