Default New runs - opinions needed

Made a few runs at the local 1/8th today, here's my best:

60 ft: 2.283
E.T.: 8.787
MPH: 89.052

Impressions/opinions? Mods in sig, naturally. No spray...

Also... I have the world's worst GM-PCM tune. There were two A4 SS cars there, and they were both claiming mid-low eights bone stock. I started feeling a little bad, but then they started talking about how the camaro f-body was faster, so I had to add a little factor.

Your times seem about right. What tires are you running?

You need better tires to run faster.

Your times sound about right for your mods.

Yeh get some stickier tires. You have great mph now get some lower et's with some better traction. Drag radials would be great.
