Are these times fair?

1994 Z28 LT1 with 131k on it, completely stock with hooker catback and cutout before axle hop.

First run I jumped the light (first time ever racing) with a r/t of like .4 (ideal is .500 at this track) and ran down a 5.0 with headers, not sure what my time was for that one.

Second and best run was a r/t of .633, 1000ft was 11.73 @ 93.6 mph. I want to say my 60ft was around 2.1 seconds or something, I'll have to get the slip out of my glove box to confirm. As for the other times, I'll post them later. Just wondering if this is adequate (11.7@93.6 on 1000ft) for a stock car with a cutout (it was open by the way)

After the first two runs, my car started cutting out a lot...Hopefully it's just a clogged fuel filter, not the pump crapping out on me. If these times are unusually low, I accredit that to the fuel problem and the high milage on the motor. I'm going back to the track some time soon, hopefully to beef up my reaction time and maybe my car won't run so poorly when I'm out there. So what do you guys think?

[edit] It was also roughly 40 degrees outside, if that matters at all.

That equates to about a 14 flat in the 1/4.

... which is pretty typical for a stock LT1.
