I don't like drag racing as a hobby, i like it as a measurement tool for both my car and my driving skills (in a straight line)

Gear ratio,tire size,weight,and the most important thing driver.

Mentioned already.

And here’s why, the top speed at the end of the quarter is affected by even more variables than the typical dyno. First, your top speed will be affected by traction, whether the car is on street tire or slick, track surface temperature, and track surface prep, whether it’s greasy, grippy, sandy. You also have to consider the track condition such as air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, elevation of the track, and wind condition, whether it’s a 10mph head wind or tail wind. If you didn’t have enough variables to think about, you have to also factor in the weight of the car. At least the dyno has a weather station and correction factor to take out some of these variables.

What about aerodynamics?

Both. Actually nobody here do street racing... we do only serious racing (rally, hillclimb, circuits,..).

Anyway, congrats to your build, it must be really fast. You should try 5.1 FD gear...
