I ask because last weekend, my car magically picked up ET again. Had a bad pairing in round 2 so we had a quik rerun. I cooled my car some but engine temp was actually warmer on the second run that it was on the previous run. No other changes. Runs were made within 15 minutes of each other.
The first run in round 2, the ET was 11.918, run out the back door.
The second run in round 2, the ET was 11.843, and I lifted some.
My car always seems to gain ET when back to back runs are made. I believe I have this narrowed down to converter temp but I don't know why it's happening.
Ideas??

I can tell you why it happens. As Raymond King who worked at TCI years ago once told me, an automatic transmission operates properly at180 degrees. Also warmer fluid makes your converter flash a little higher and your 60 ft. Picks up.
