Default Well the V's not a 1/8 mile car that's for sure

Just made my first passes in the 04 V.....it's 75 deg with 99% humidity here in Bama. First run with t/c on comp mode was a 9.21 @ 83.55 mph with a 2.37 60' second run was 9.61 @82.19 mph with t/c off with a 2.564 60'......had a friend drive it for 2 passes and he got a 9.56 and a 9.20.....it's a complete stocker I was just expecting a little more....any advice on getting these cars out of the hole??

Eagle RSA's 245/45.......I tried the driver mod with a buddy who runs a 6 spd SS on a reg basis...he and I both felt like there was a delay or maybe a computer safeguard that would keep it from speed shifting....oh we're going to put the tuner on it this week
