OP I think that 1/8 mile time is avg. I'm in north alabama and I see full exhaust lid auto cars run 8.6 to 8.9's regularly. The local track here 1/8 mile only isn't exactly known for its track prep so that et and 60' is avg around here. When I was boltons with a drag radial in 60 degree weather I made 2 passes one was a 8.5 with a 2.0 60' @ 85 the other was 8.3 with a high 1.9 @ 84. Car is in sig

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
Yea, you run the AC and it'll drip water all the way down the track, not safe.
OP, go to http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php and enter in the track and the date. It should get you a good estimate on the DA. I know you said the temp was 80s but that's only one factor for calculating DA. It might be a lot better than most people think if the DA was through the roof.
BTW, my bolt on 99 TA ran 8.4@85 but it also had a pretty massive intake leak that was leaning it out.

I realize the safety issue with the water dripping from the AC. I was just commenting because in the last post on page one the OP stated The AC was on and it was 85 degrees. I was just saying that the AC doesnt hinder performance because it shuts off at WOT. So there is no "Loss of Power" that I know of...

That is actually not that good really. That is roughly a 13.6-13.8 1/4 mile time. That would be average for a stock car, you should be around a 8.5 or better in the 1/8.
But DA and weather plays a big part and that is why timmy jones is asking.
That 60' could use some work as well. Get a 1.8x 60' and you will be doing good.
