Default 1/8 mile times

i was reading another post and some of the replies got me thinking my mph is slow. this is not new times, they are from last fall, but my best was 8.78 at 82 mph. does my mph sound off?

Your mph seems a little high for the time...I ran a 8.28 @ 82.44 with a 1.701 60'...So, depending on what your 60' is your mph may vary.

Before my stall, I ran 8.76 at 81.6ish. Thats a 2.0 60. After the stall and no sway bar, I have a best of 8.43 at 81.98 with a 1.91 60. Thats with street tires too. Mods are longtubes, stall, ram air, tuning.

That's probably the 3.23's doing that, slow in the first half of the track, and then it picks up.
