Oil Level

I would doubt the ET changed that much just from the oil level and windage...BUT ...

I almost always find that my MPH is down a little right after I change the oil in my 565 in my dragster.....and it has an accusump....and when I change it I put the same amount of oil in it....or so I think...

Since its a S/C car I can't really see an ET issue but like I said the MPH might be down one or two and I am usually scratching my head wondering where that MPH went....

And then it usually comes back after some runs.....

Losing ET is often a real mystery.....

My EFI Firebird did exactly that and for no apparent reason.....and MPH was still about the same at the time...
