A couple of thoughts. 1) When looking at a slow combination, pick one that has a large carb/throttle body relative to engine size. They seem to be less sensitive to weather change. 2) Weather station-based predictor software seems to be geared more to faster cars with more efficient engines. Some may be better suited than others for an slower car. I would think that highly detailed historical data for your particular combination would be invaluable. (that translates to seat time, too). **.02, please.
