just ran the 1/8 for the first time, need imput!
ok well i ran the first 1/8 mile run ever in my friends car. he has some crappy tires compaired to mine and a lot better clutch. he ran a best of 8.52 at about 83 or 4 mph and i ran 8.9 at 83.3 mph. my 60 foot sucked at about 2.25 i spun bad...but it was decent seeing im not used to the car i guess. what i wanna know is does that trap speed look decent and like the only time i lost was cause i spun off the line? and also, what should this car be running. it has a better clutch than stock. 3"exhaust with no cats goin into a flowmaster. air lid. maf ends. free intake cut out under filter. its a 98 trans am. also has hypertech tuning, k&n filter, tb bypass and well other free mods. what do you all think the times should be and what can be done to get some better times besides get some better tires?

I run 8.5Xs in the 1/8 @84 with a 2.03 60' but with an A4 and bald F1s. I think it really needs some sticky tires to help with your 60' times. They would also help you with a higher rpm launch at the line.

I highly suggest you get some drag radials, and practice, practice, practice. Your 60ft time is whats killing your run.
