Default First Time @ the TrACK How Did I Do?

My expectations were to run a high 11 but after doing it a couple of times and watching other people with my similar combo it's hard to pull off an 11 sec on street tires. Thats what I was hoping for but on street tires and my lack of inexperience I'm very doubtful. Regardless I'm very pleased with my results. I aslo wanted to thank the guys at Power House with all the tips and tricks.
Now they have some fast asrse cars. 10's GT Turbo on stock motor and 11's V6 Turbo on stock motor.

So based on my numbers how bad did I do and how fast should I have run under optimal conditions?

Oh my car is a total PIG 3970 with driver or that's really me that's the pig @240.

Anyone have a good calculator.

R/T... .652
60'... 2.047
330... 5.423
1/8... 8.142
MPH... 92.75
1000 ... 10.455
1/4 ... 12.399

Next steps?? I was thinking some nice DR's bump up the boost to 13# and 373 gears??? Stock clutch seems to be holding up incredibly well. I will tell you I did not do any burnouts. I just spun the tires a little to clear any debris.

You are definately capable of 11's right now, but you will not get there without a lower 60ft. You need some slicks and you'll be pulling consistent 11 second passes. Since you are running a turbo you are definately capable of a 1.6 60ft or so with slicks. That will put you around 11.8 in the 1/4th give or take depending on shifts etc.

Slicks or at least drag radials and you'll have 11s easy.
With the kind of power you're probably making with the turbo, 2.0 60' on street tires isn't bad but it's definitely killing your ET.
Nice numbers though.

Congrats on the times and getting out there and doing it!
Mike and the gang from PH will give you good advice as far as what to do.
Like most said, get the launch and 60' time down and 11's are yours.
I would invest in a set of MT ET Streets drag radials first. I would lean towards the 3.55's maybe 3.73's as well.
You will be able to hit 11's without bumping the boost up easy. Your 1/8 mph is very nice as well as your trap at 116.

Edit: Have you considered the PH driveshaft as well?
