I know in the summer here in Ohio the humidity can do a number on 1/4 mile times....I noticed my times varied just because one day it was more humid then the next time i went,cept when i got the AEM intake then it didn't really matter cuz i was getting better and lower times with the stock intake with just a cone filter in place of the stock square filter....It will affect your 1/4 mile times,i can't say how much it will but it will to a certain amount,plus your engine temp will get higher to as you race and race,its best to run a couple times and pop your hood to let the wind or air cool it off,the mustangs and cars like that at the track i went to were getting horrible times and had their hoods up and even bags of ice on the engines to cool them off.

IIRC count on losing approximately .1 for every 10% humidity gain. Whatever it is, it's fairly significant.
