This was my first time on a drag strip in 25 years, ya I'm old, I think I did ok for a car with fully inflated street tires and almost a full tank of gas. What do you guys think. I am looking for some DR's or normal slicks so I can see what it will really do.

I reviewed my HP Tuners log and I had to pedal the crap out of the poor thing, I didn't go WOT for the first 4 seconds or my best pass (3rd on in pic). I went through the traps at about 5800 rpms. I only made 3 passes and the pic is the best. The first one I spun off the line hard, had to test traction. 2nd, lost traction about 100 ft out when I went WOT.

1st:
60 ft - 2.400
1/8 - 8.736
1/8 mph - 93.59
1/4 mph - 113.26
1/4 ET - 13.018

2nd:
60 ft 2.0430
1/8 - 8.237
1/8 mph - 94.63
1/4 mph - 114.87
1/4 ET - 12.478

The pic shows my weight the next day, a bit less fuel than race day but close enough.

I see no problems with your et's being in the mid to high 11s, with traction. Good luck.
Oh, and I'm not a real drag racer, but I did sleep at a Motel 6 last night.

Not bad for your first outing. We all start somewhere. Get some real tires and try again, high to mid 11s should be possible with your mph.

Thanks for the replies, it is fun for an old car. It looks like a show car so people don't really expect much. On the street people just say Nice car or give me a thumbs up. Its nice to surprise people. The Pontiac purists hate me but its all good.

That day, the third run was against a 2008 Mustang GT, the guy was doing burnouts on the road entering the staging area, showing off. He ran a 13.45 @ 103. His buddies were laughing at him after the race.
