Mxer, I know but im guessing its due to my inexperience. My guess is that it should be around 105-107ish. As mentioned my 60' is horrible which contributes me being so slow. And how I ran different mphs which im guessing is my shifting.
Any idea on what made him sell it?

You need some good tires and a 2step.. Then you might even get into the 12's.. Are you sure the motor is running up to par? Your mph seems pretty low for a 6speed car. Even though you are spinning you should run more mph than if you stick..

Two of the o2 sensors aren't in which I don't think would hurt my time as they aren't used when your at wot. Or at least I thought. Those were the only codes thrown when I last checked. And sometimes my exhaust smokes white after wot if I let it decelerate. I know I know its not a "good" sign, but I constantly check my fluids and neither my coolant goes low or oil looks bad, also have done a leakdown with "normal" #'s. So my guess is valve seals or to change the head gaskets as they may have a small break or the heads may have lifted. This hasn't started since sprayed (75 shot only and haven't even made it through a bottle yet). Sorry for that loooong list but I figured id get it out of the way.
Anyways, car seems to be performing fine. I also thought the mph was low for each run. I figured it was maybe something wrong then thought maybe it was my shifting.

Get it to hook. You won't get a good idea of the car's mph if you're spinning/bogging that bad. I've always lost several mph when my cars have spun badly.
