Default first time to the track with my turbo car!

traction was an issue with the 2 step. so i did mostly rev and dump launches and the best time i got was. 7.82 @ 93mph at the local 1/8th mile track.clutch was slipping in 3rd gear and tranny felt clunky, so i granny shifted.i was hopeing for 7.50's. still looking at the redneck c-4 and some slicks. so is it a respectable number?

mods are : stock 302 bottom end
windsor sr heads
crane r.r
lunati cam(dont know specs)
trickflow intake
48lb injectors
75mm pro m mass meter
75mm trickflow t.b with egr delete
255lph intank pump(w/bbk 310 booster pump)
mallory 6 digital box
super t-70 single turbo(best time @15psi)
cobra clutch
stock t-5
3.73 gears
275/45 r17 old school bfg drag radials
17" cobra r's
car is 1989 lx hatch with mother nature lightening (rust).

my ignition upgrade was prob. the best. summit tfi dizzy,taylor wires,ngkplugs,mallory hi fire 6 box and msd 8227 coil. an adjustable fuel press is a must , make sure its boost reference.youll need a good fuel pump, like the bbk external mount,it flows 310 lph.
