Is this a decent time for an auto LS1? I ran a 8.790 at 84 MPH in the 8th mile, that was my best ET, my other runs where all 8.80's at the same MPH. I was running the Same time, 8.80's at 74 MPH, but then I relised I was cutting off the gas a little before the end of the track, I ran still the same ET, but 10 MPH faster.
Any idea on what the 8.70 run at 84 would be in the quarter mile? I'm running on cheap *** $40 tires in the rear that do not even heat up in the water box.
I have Pace-Setter headers, SLP Y-pipe, Borla exhaust, WS6 rear end swap, ECU tune, K&N air cleaer, no cats, auto shift kit, aluminum driveshaft, and I think thats about it. Should this car be running faster? it seems almost faster on the street then it does at the track. And if I did get some good tires, like MT Drag radials, how much would it shave my ET by?

Without your 60 foot times it'd be a guess on how much is left on the table. The mph isn't bad for summer time air (my Formula usually runs 8.60s-.70s at 83 mph in the 1/8 during summer with 2.05 60 foots), and I only have a Flowmaster catback, FTRA, K & N panel filter and lid. I'd think you'd be faster with the headers and y-pipe with no cats, but is the tune spot on?

2.2 60 foots mean you have at least 3 tenths in the 1/8-mile if you can find low 2.0 60 foot times (sticky tires and/or getting the launch right). Keep at it.
