Finally took it out to the track 60': 2.089
330: 5.650
1/8: 8.337
mph: 95.35
1000: 10.569
1/4: 12.391
mph: 125.33
full street form STREET tires, subs and all
yes traction was a bitch, but i wanted to see what street potentials i had on regular non drag radials before slapping those on. i have couple vids taken but dont know how to transfer them yet to cpu.
i had posted up in the boosted section now that i have a time slip
here's my video. im determined to hit 11's on street tires but i think ima just run with the bfg drs next

my last run was all messed up too. car rolled and red lit... but i said f it and ran either way to see my mph's 96.68 and ended at 126.67 everything was smoother and i think i wouldve hit 11's on that run... needless to say i was pissed.. my goal was to hit 11's on street tires. this is my first time out to the track since 1997 too
bought the car new in 2002 ran nitrous and never tracked it, but so many people locally were getting on me about it so i made my debut
i so forgot what the rush was like... i may have to go back in a couple weeks
btw the temp was 89 degrees out, humidity @ 15, absolute barometer 29.80

im not pissed, about my times... as my friends say while watching it... "why are you driving down the track" this is the first time ive actually driven the car that hard. couple weeks ago i did 200 miles of street and canyon twisties... ill be back with some drag radials on my 18's in a couple weeks.
the more i watch the vids it teaches me to focus on certain points... like it has been mentioned; launch harder and shift harder... right now i launch as if on the street and the light turned green at the intersection

Ditto. I ran my car the same way you did, left VERY soft (for fear of tire spin) and didn't go 100% WOT until late 2nd gear and still went 135, and I'm at 3900 lbs.
I'm not knocking your setup, we're damn near identical. I'd seriously consider getting some extra rims and tires as mentioned, and see how it runs on a good tire.
