1/8th mile times...good or bad?

I ran 8.85@80.48mph with mods listed in sig. Is this pretty good? I dropped boots to every other LT1 and LS1 that was there. Even a 2002 SS. Here are my #'s from my slip.

Reaction--.9532
60ft--------2.08
330ft------5.78
1/8th ET---8.8503
1/8th MPH--80.48

I was running on dayton ZR 245 16 street tires @20lbs pressure

IMO I think thats good but you could improve it by getting that reaction time and 60 ft down a little like a .6/.7 for reaction
then a 1.8 60 ft. I think you should see low 8.7 or a high 8.6 1/8th. What do ya'll think, does that sound right?

reaction time has nothing to do with your 1/8 time. So, you do not have to worry about that. It would be hard to get a 1.8 60ft with the tires he has, need some drag radials to dip down that low. I think its a good time compard to your minimal mods.
