Heat affects all engines, if its hot tonight you will be loosing power. Don't take a chance on spinning, go around the water and back into the water. Pull forward a little and start the tires spinning while holding the car still with the foot brake until you see a little smoke. Stage so you just barely turn on the second stage light. If your running just for a good ET, don't worry about the lights , sit there as long as you want after the light turns green. The clock doesn't start for you until you are ready to leave, let the other guy go. Concentrate on a good hard leave. Stomp the gas pedal to flash the converter , same time as releasing the brake. Just hold to the boards the whole trip. Leave the auto trans in drive, don't paddle shift it. And yes , put some fresh 93 octane gas in it, especially if the tank is 1/8 tank before you put in the 93. try and have only a 1/2 tank for your pass.
