You might need to look around the forum a bit. There is a list at the top of the drag racing subsection (currently right above this thread) that has tons of members times posted and Forged Performance is a forum sponsor that has worked on many forum members cars.

Never be embarassed about your times you are new to drag racing, not alot of us set records our first time out the first season will be alot of learning. Good luck with the racing and the more track time you get the better you will become at your launching and shifting techniques. You will whittle those times down with practice.

Fastest bolt-on DE is still faster than the quickest bolt-on HR........I would imagine that won't last long though.
