Default how do these numbers look?

Took my car to the track for the first time with new mods and I was hoping for better numbers but I never did a base run. My first pass was the best and after that I either bogged it down at launch or smoked the tires. Tried launching from 2k to 3k. Top end speed was pretty consistent on all 5 passes. Hoping there is room for improvement and i can dip into the 10s. Any input would be great.

Cam, Fast intake, LT headers, Vararam, Tune, M6, ET street radials.

I'm an automatic guy but I do understand what you are saying. I'm running 11.2-11.3 myself and just need a harder hitting stall for a better 60'.

Looks pretty good. It'll get even better with practice on that launch.

305 Mickey ET street radials. tire pressure around 25psi. it just trial and error at this point with launch RPM, burnout, tire psi. I actually think it launched better with a small burnout. Im putting my street tires on today and may try it with them instead since its almost time for a new set.
