Default Weather and performance

How much ET change do you guys see based on weather ( using the same track ) from the best air to the worst?
Using the quarter mile.
I'd like to know if a tenth (or so) is average , from one end of the "spectrum" to the other.

Thanks Ed
I saw a 2.5 MPH swing from April in just the eighth! About a MPH in the quarter.......same pass..I lost a tenth in the eighth and about .15 over the quarter. I may have something else going on......springs , clutch......not sure yet.
