First time at the track...
First time at the track... So I finally got my car out to the local 1/8 mile track and it was...rough 
It was my first time at the track and boy I had a hard time getting out of the hole...All night I kept running 9.1's and trapping at about 85-86 MPH. My trap speed is there(lowest I think was somewhere around 83-84 area) but my 60 would be anywhere from 2.2 to 2.6...It was a spin fest... shitty falken tires 
My best time for the night was as follows
R/T: .541
60': 2.205
330: 5.833
1/8: 8.759
MPH: 85.86
I made about 5 passes when I figured out those shitty tires were not gonna cut it. I was getting sideways in 3rd gear
It's an M6 and it's also dynotuned... I guess practice makes perfect... my R/T time surprised me since it was my first time... I was launching anywhere from 1500 - 4000
the 4K launch was fun...almost lost control 
My best time was done on a 3K feathering...
Any tips for a rook? Realistically, I put down 348 RWHP and almost 360 FT/LBS of torque, what should I be running?

4.10s in a 6-speed will do that to you if you arent on a good tire.
Get yourself a set of drag radials (I like BFG and Mickey Thompson...bfgs are a better street/strip tire though...MT's are AWESOME at the track though) and go back out and see what it can actually do.
The mph is definatley high for that 1/8th, so it'll come way down when you 60' some sub 2.0s
