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.
