Default what might be my 1/8 time?

I'm going to a 1/8th mile track today (elevation 3010')because I wanna run the car but the 1/4 mile track(elevation 2800') here isn't open yet. I can't find any of my time slips to compare with today. I do remember my best 1/4 was 2.21 60', 14.42 @ 95.7x. At the time I really didn't no much nor had I done any good mods. Last year the car was still new to me so I wasn't rolling into the throttle at all and the staging lanes were empty so I was just making pass after pass not letting the car cool down at all and I had already done the FRA mod. Also my AIR check valves were bad so I may have been running rich. Since then I've removed and blocked off the AIR, put on a lid, ported the MAF, ported the TB, done the bump stop mod, and put in a cut out. Any body know what kinda et I might get in the 1/8th with an elevation of 3010'.

It seems to me that car should be running faster than that. Your 60ft is awful. First thing to do is get sticky tires, then LCA's then a stall converter. You should be around an 8.0 after that. Good luck.
