first time at drags....what do you make of these numbers?
60'----2.025
1/8---8.488 mph---83.65
1000--11.05
1/4---13.101 mph--108.23
98 a4 4.10 stock converter . car is modded some and last dyno made 350hp/360tq
street tires [falken] race wt/3463lbs.
i was hoping for high 12's. seems car was launching ok. seemed like second pulled ok. maybe weak in third? i know i need a little more tuning and lots more practice ....
any input about the numbers?

I don't know what your mods are, but, 13.1 @ 108 is doing just fine for a stock or nearly stock car. You can get into the 12's with good tires and good weather, but, I would't sweat it - you're doing just fine.

I agree with Mark. Based on our 60' times you were spinning some. Get some better tires and you'll probably see an improvement. Caution sticky tires mean more your half shafts are gonna suffer more abuse. You may wanna think about beefin those up before you toast them

ok ...it is easy as pie to spin the street tires with the 4.10s....my worst run was 14.9...spun the tires real bad at the start...had to get completely off it and straighten up ....rest of the runs were 13.2s with 13.1 my best....what should good 60 be?.....
do the 1/8 and 1/4 mph seem ok? is most of the problem with getting into 12s at the launch?
