Default First runs at Maryland International Raceway

So it has been a while since I've been on a drag strip. The last time I was there, it was in my 2004 Grand Prix GTP Competition Group around 2006 or 2007, so it took me a couple runs to get the 60' down. So, my best 60' was also my best run (last run). The first couple runs I was launching like I was in a supercharged FWD car. Once I realized that, I was able to improve my 60' times. I'm curious if the times are appropriate for the speed, or if I'm not rolling into it fast enough. These were my first runs ever in this car, so there may be a potential FWD bias for me still.

These runs were all done on Falken Azenis RT660 tires. They weren't slipping or losing traction, so I am thinking I can probably launch a little more aggressively as well. I was power braking to around 1700 RPM, though the last run was done at 1500 RPM as I had read somewhere that 1500 was ideal on a stock converter. The car has a cam, FAST 92 MM intake manifold and FAST 92 MM TB. It also has a CAI. With the tune it is putting down 310 at the wheels, with the redline raised by 500 RPM. The car weighs in at 3550 without me in it (3750 with me in it) and has a 2.73 axle gear ratio paired to a stock 4L60E (planning on getting a higher stall for it next).

Do the times seem right for the speed, and does the overall run seem right for the mods? Thanks!

EDIT: Also, it was pretty humid that night, around 80%-90%. I know that does play into it, but if I recall correctly, it isn't a MASSIVE difference.
EDIT part 2: I also forgot it has a 3" cat back with a cutout that was open.
