If all of those mod's are new you will go faster. I won't even guess though, too hard to tell. One thing is for sure you need some lighter wheels and some sticky tires.

I'm getting bad times too, don't worry lol.

I pulled an 8.9 finally with a 60ft of 1.9, I definately think I could do better (I wasn't power shifting). I did this up in Benton, IL though.

lol.. the drag radials only go on at the track, they're not my daily driving tires so if you want to break into my pool shed and steal them you can, but I have one mean beagle who might kick your *** that lives in there

definitely get some gears man.

Just easing out of the throttle into a launch (2.19 60ft.) I ran 8.92 @81.9mph prior to Tune/Clutch/Flywheel/Driveshaft.

I can't even describe the traction problems on the spray, and I have to slow shift it on the spray cause' im afraid of bouncing off the limiter on the nitrous without a window switch. 8.62@86.5mph low bottle pressure.

Both times in 90* weather and moderate humidity.

Drag racing just takes practice to hone the skills, and some good rubber doesn't hurt.

or just get an automatic like mine and you need no skills. 8.2's in the 1/8 on the Nitto's. It's all in the gears, tires and suspension.
