Default My second time at the track

I was very disappointed after taking my car to the local track. I have an auto 02 ws6 with 48xxx that I have had for 5 years. I live on the Gulf Coast at sea level, the humidity was high, and the temp was in the upper 80's to low 90's. Here are my results at the 1/8 mile track:

1st Run 2nd Run
.0252 reaction .1249
2.9109 60ft 2.3149
6.9409 330ft 6.2951
9.0319 ET@ 594ft 8.3651
9.6347@74.64 1/8 et &mph 8.9642 @75.12

I lost my time slips from two years ago but I think I did the 1/8 mile in 7.8 seconds but I am not sure.

P.S. I had my girlfriend in the car with me. So me plus her is about is about 400lbs (yes we are fat!). Tire pressure was at 32lbs and no burnouts. My car is stock right down to the lid.

Any ideas or thoughts are much appreciated! Just wanted to know if my car is slow. Thanks.

Everyone will tell u that the 60ft is where the problem is.U should be in the 2.0-2.1 Get that down and u should be running a 8.40-8.50 which is about right.

a 7.8 sounds a little fast to me fore it being stock. I ran a 7.8 with my 12.0 pass...Get a grand together and get a stall with gears. Plus some tires

that is good MPH and show's that you have the power to go faster! get a stall and a tune at least to really unlock the power of the LS1 in your A4!
