Default 1st 1/8mile Friday night in my C5

I ended up heading down to Eddyville Dragway (Iowa) early (6:30ish) Friday night and ran the car a few times because i figured it was going to rain out the Midnight madness (which it did) -

1st pass i forgot to change the rpm chip in the shift light and it was set at 3k so messed me up and it ran 8.76
2nd pass i change the shift light to 5800 and forgot to shut off the traction control 9.41 - DAMN!
3rd pass awesome lauch but missed 2nd gear....man i'm glad for that rev limiter cause i hit it hard!
4th pass i had everything shut off etc
Left at 4000 (still bogged)
Powershifted 1st to 2nd right at 6000
Granny shifted 2nd to 3rd
and ran 8.57 at 84mph
2.06 60ft.
Last pass was a flop due to i tried leaving at 5000 and didn't work instantly blew the tires off lol
Overall i was happy for the 1st night with regular street run flat tires, Donaldson Blackwing, Headers, & Corsa exhaust.
Can't wait to run again to get the launch better, i think it will run high 8.40's if i hit everything just right. Easier said than done

What do you guys think? Yes its a 6 speed with stock clutch
