Narrative:
El paso WX: 88 degrees 150 degrees at 8 KTS. Runway 22 cut back with 9810 ft available. Aircraft weighed 160 pounds less than maximum runway allowable weight 171030 pounds versus 171199 pounds with air conditioning packs off. Roll was initiated with appropriate normal power and air conditioning packs off. V1, 138 KTS was obtained at about 3500 ft remaining. V2, 150 KTS was not obtained until just prior to end of runway. Suspected actual weight exceeded computed takeoff performance weight.
