WTF 8.23 at 94.7 MPH in the 1/8th???
With that MPH shouldnt I be running a LOT faster than that?? I was running on street tires and hosing it during second gear. I was expecting 7's easy. My 60 ft was 2.3? What should I be running with that MPH?

You need some tires, dude. Get some drag radials or et streets or slicks. Your 60 ft says that you spun thru first gear, that's why you didn't get your 7 sec run.

Im no expert, but it also sounds like your geared a hair too high. (according to your sig) If you had some 3.73's you might have done better. But, like I said, im no expert....

Well, I know my 1/8 was 95mph this past season, and i ran 7.14 in the 1/8.

11.28 @ 120.6 in the 1/4 though.
