Default what should my 1/8 be

ok i have pacesetter LTs, ORY, no cats, slp loudmouth2... slp lid its a ws6 so its got ls6 intake... NO TUNE.... it dynoed at 353whp and 368wtq.... the best i could do was a 8.4 at like 84.5mph... to my thats not very good... i was on nittos, but the car was boging down it seemed like.. forgot its been so long, but maybe because i didnt have much gas and all the fuel was thrown into the back of the tanke creating a gap in the lines?? any input would be nice

I've seen stock ones run 8.6-8.8, I would hope you're faster.

Doubt its fuel though, I would think you would know real quick if you run air through the lines.

well what it would do is jump like real ******* hard, and then like when the front end actualy settled down a bit, it would just stop for like the smallest amount of time ever, then shoot off again... it was weird... almost like traction controll was on, but it wasnt!! thats was only my second time at the track tho... the first time i ran a 8.5 on bald nittos... this second time i was on brand new nittos... and thats when the stupid bogging down thing was happeneing... i just couldnt figure it out

let me guess..you have a stock gear. I would advise getting a 3.90 or lower gear to help you get out of the hole. You also need a tune and it wouldn't hurt to launch at a higher rpm..if you have a trailer of course. With those #'s you might even see high 7s.
