I'd say you did pretty good. Good job! Street tires?

If you improve your RT and lower your 60' time you can probably shave 1-2 tenths off your time.

what exactly do you need help with? your times look pretty decent to me. you will only get better with more practice, or more mods (including tires) if you decide to keep adding on.

You done good. 60 foot is excellent. Car is running OK picking up 20.3 MPH in the second 660 feet.

Why is the ¼ mile trap speed less than 100 MPH? Because the 1/8 mile trap is low. Key area for improvement: first to second gear shift.

Reaction Time is included in Elapsed Time? I didn’t know that.

Good driving. You could/should bracket race with a 13.78 dial-in.

Please stop giving advice until you're more knowledgeable about the subject. Good day.

so do you bounce it off rev limiter or just take it to redline? and if it is bouncing off rev limiter it will cut off your trap speed. it has happened to me the first time i ran this car at the track

This man speaks the truth, in fact, I can improve upon this advice...

Leave a little bit before the light and shave even more time.
