First off ditch the passenger and spare tire, get some Drag radials and some more seat time. Thats a start.

As mentioned above, extra weight = slower time. As long as you are having fun and the track allows it, if you want to take a friend along, okay. If you want faster times, ditch the extra heft.

Post up some information on the car and mods, then you'll get better answers on if you're on par for times, slow, etc.

Congrats on the first outing!

Would it make you feel better if I told you my V6 intake only 4 door went 9.0 in the 1/8th?

Just giving you a hard time lol. Get rid of all the unnecessary weight.
Why did your car only trap 100mph? Should be more, maybe the driver mod is in great need.

Default mods

My car has 4.10 gears, Magnaflow CB, and lid. I definatly think a driver mod is needed. I might go to an 1/8 mile track tomorrow. If not i have to wait until July 18th for the 1/4. Going to the track makes me want to spend more money on my car.

What tire pressure should I have my Nitto NT05s at for the track?

If they are a DR, 20 or less.

If it's a true street tire, 25psi in the rear tires, and 45psi in the fronts.
